Need to keep this plant from dying

Does anyone know what kind of plant this is and how much water it needs? Each time I water (every 5 days), the leaves turn yellow and droop.

Never water your Dieffenbachia or any other plant on a schedule.
Use your Digital Water Meter instead. What? Don't have one?
Sure you do, it's your finger. Re-water when it's dry down to the
first knuckle.

The pot is too small. Repot in better soil in a larger pot.
