No reason that I know of - assuming you are no longer being shocked.
It could depend on the severity of the shock though. With high voltage electrocution comes burns, and often the burns are internal. If the voltage passed through your gastrointestinal system, adding anything to it, even something as innocuous as water can cause greater issues.
One reason in particular is that water is a conductor of electricity. By giving said patient water would cause more shock.

Should the cold-water inlet and hot-water outlet be the same size on a 50-gallon electric water heater?
The inlet and outlets are the same size on a tank, weather your plumbing is the same size should be the question. This is not critical, but they should be the same,if there is no backflow restrictor on a plubic line and the inlet is larger then the outlet,then you could be pushing hot water into the pubic line. New installs recommend an expansion tank,but few people install them,unless they get water hammer,knocking sounds. But most new water heaters have a restrictor built into the inlet. There is no difference between gas and electric, the water does not know how it is being heated.
How do you install a water hammer?
No one ever installs a water hammer they install a shock absorber such as an air chamber
No heat no hot water?
Is this gas or electric?
How are ground wires a safety measure against electric shock?
If the live wire should touch the casing of an appliance, the casing would become live and give electric shocks. The ground wire prevents this because it provides a low resistance route to earth and any current flows away safely. Because of the low resistance, a large current flows and blows the fuse, thus disconnecting the appliance. One safety feature is that the ground wires connect the outer cases of all items of electrical equipment together, so that (for example) it is not possible to get an electric shock by touching the cooker and the fridge at the same time. This type of grounding is also used in aircraft even though there is no connection to the ground. The other feature is that the ground wires are grounded to an earth rod in the ground, to avoid a buildup of static electric charge. They are also connected to water and gas supply pipes.
What are the benefits of converting salt water into pure water?
you can drink pure water and irrigate with it. if the only water available is the sea then you would have to convert it
Can you drink the water after electric shock?
No, milk is a better option.
Should you allow a shock victim to drink water?
Because the person in shock will choke on the food or drink
Should singers drink cold water?
No, cold water will shock and tighten your vocal chords.
Why you should never change a light bulb with wet hands?
We should never change a light bulb with wet hands as electricy is charged through water. It passes more quickly through water and we could get an electric shock.
Not part of the treatment for shock?
Only allow to drink water
Why should electrical equipment not be operated near water?
1. Because water conducts electric currents and this would prevent the electric circuits working properly. 2. Wet skin is a very good conductor of electric current and there is a high risk of an electric shock.
What happens if you put an electric dog collar in water whilst its on your dog?
It should be waterproof. my dog swims with his shock collar on sometimes and nothing happens
What material would not be good for insulating against electric shock?
Materials that conduct electricity, such as metals and water, would not be good for insulating against electric shock. These materials allow electricity to flow through them, increasing the risk of electric shock. Insulating materials like rubber or plastic are better choices for providing protection against electric shock.
What happens when electrical energy is added to water?
When electrical energy is added to water it creates electric shock.
Will you get electric shock when standing in a river which is effected by electric lines?
in wet grassYes, depending how close you are to the fallen power line, the amount of electric shock will vary. Electricity is much, much faster than moving water.
Should I drink water more or should I eat more?
You should drink water because if you don't drink enough water you can die
If someone has a electrical shock and is lying in or near water what should you do?
Your own safety is top priority. You need to make it safe to approach, so disconnecting the power source and making sure that there is no longer a risk of electric shock.
