An infant with severe dehydration due to gastroenteritis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an infant who has severe dehydration due to gastroenteritis which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increased respiratory rate. Severe dehydration leads to decreased blood volume, causing the heart to pump faster to maintain adequate circulation, resulting in increased respiratory rate to compensate for the metabolic acidosis from dehydration.
B: Capillary refill of 2 seconds would indicate adequate perfusion, not severe dehydration.
C: Hypertension is not a typical finding in severe dehydration; hypotension is more likely.
D: Increased urine output is not expected in severe dehydration as the body conserves water.
