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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (13% weight loss). Severe dehydration results in significant weight loss due to fluid loss. A 13% weight loss indicates severe dehydration. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Bulging anterior fontanel is a sign of increased intracranial pressure, not dehydration.
B) Bradypnea is slow breathing rate, which is not typically associated with severe dehydration.
C) Capillary refill of 3 seconds is within normal range and not indicative of severe dehydration. It is important to focus on the weight loss percentage as a key indicator of severe dehydration in this case.
