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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 13% weight loss. Severe dehydration leads to significant weight loss in infants due to fluid deficit. A 13% weight loss indicates severe dehydration, as infants have a higher proportion of body water. Bulging anterior fontanel (
B) is a sign of increased intracranial pressure, not dehydration. Bradypnea (
C) refers to slow breathing, which can occur in severe dehydration but is not a specific finding. Capillary refill of 3 seconds (
D) is concerning for dehydration but is not as specific as the significant weight loss. Other choices are not provided.
