An infant who has a 2-day history of vomiting and an elevated temperature.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an emergency department is caring for an infant who has a 2-day history of vomiting and an elevated temperature. Which of the following should the nurse recognize as the most reliable indicator of fluid loss?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Body weight. This is because body weight is the most reliable indicator of fluid loss in infants. Monitoring body weight over time can provide accurate information on changes in fluid status. A decrease in body weight indicates fluid loss, which can help guide fluid replacement therapy. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, and skin integrity can be affected by various factors and may not always accurately reflect fluid loss.
Therefore, body weight is the most direct and reliable indicator in this scenario.
