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?

Monitoring body weight allows for early detection of dehydration and guides appropriate fluid replacement therapy. Skin integrity (
A) can be affected by factors other than fluid loss. Blood pressure (
C) can be influenced by various factors and may not accurately reflect fluid status in infants. Respiratory rate (
D) may increase with dehydration but is not as specific or reliable as changes in body weight.
