Note
The plural belongs only to the noun. The adjective fluid, as in a fluid situation, never takes an -s. Because fluid is both countable and uncountable, fluids usually counts kinds: the different liquids a body needs, or the oils and coolants in a car. To a physicist those kinds can include gases and plasma, while everyday speech means liquids. In hospital talk, fluids alone colloquially means intravenous fluids.
