Question 1 of 5
A clinic nurse is caring for a 4-year-old client with acute diarrhea and mild dehydration who is afebrile, active, and alert. The nurse is providing instructions to the parent. Which statement by the parent indicates understanding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: I will continue to give oral rehydration in small amounts. For a child with mild dehydration and acute diarrhea, oral rehydration therapy is the first-line treatment. By choosing this option, the parent demonstrates an understanding of the importance of maintaining hydration through oral fluids. This approach helps prevent further dehydration and can be effective in mild cases.
Option A is incorrect because intravenous fluids are typically reserved for severe cases of dehydration. Option C is incorrect as chicken broth may not contain the appropriate balance of electrolytes needed for rehydration. Option D is incorrect because a depressed fontanelle is a sign of severe dehydration, which would require immediate medical attention, not just notification.
