Explanation:

Endemic is a term used to indicate that the cases of the disease had remained constant in an area over some time. If the number of people affected by meningitis in New York had increased from 2016 to 2017, the term used would be an epidemic.  If a disease spreads globally, it is called a pandemic.

fluid balance is an aspect of the homeostasis of organisms in which the amount of water in the organism needs to be controlled, via osmoregulation and behavior, such that the concentrations of electrolytes (salts in solution) in the various body fluids are kept within healthy ranges. the core principle of fluid balance is that the amount of water lost from the body must equal the amount of water taken in.
