An infant who has severe dehydration from acute gastroenteritis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting an infant who has severe dehydration from acute gastroenteritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 13% weight loss. Severe dehydration from acute gastroenteritis can lead to significant weight loss in infants due to fluid loss. A 13% weight loss indicates severe dehydration requiring prompt intervention.
Incorrect choices:
A: Bulging anterior fontanel - This is a sign of increased intracranial pressure, not dehydration in infants.
B: Bradypnea - Bradypnea is slow breathing rate, which is not typically associated with severe dehydration.
D: Capillary refill 3 seconds - Prolonged capillary refill time may indicate poor circulation, but it is not a specific finding for severe dehydration in infants.
