Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the admission of a 2-year-old toddler who has acute gastroenteritis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Initiate isotonic fluids with 20 mEq/L potassium chloride. The priority in treating acute gastroenteritis in a toddler is to manage dehydration, which is often severe due to fluid loss from vomiting and diarrhea. Isotonic fluids with electrolytes like potassium chloride help to restore fluid balance and prevent complications like electrolyte imbalances. This is the most urgent action to stabilize the child's condition. Request evaluation of the toddler's serum electrolytes. While important, this can be done after fluid resuscitation has begun to assess the severity of electrolyte imbalances. Determine if the toddler is voiding. Important for assessing renal function, but not the first priority in acute gastroenteritis. Collect a stool sample from the toddler. Useful for identifying the causative organism but not as urgent as fluid resuscitation.
