Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who has manifestations of severe dehydration and a prescription for parenteral fluid therapy. The guardian asks, 'What are the indications that my baby needs an IV?' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. Your baby needs an IV because she is not producing tears. B. Your baby needs an IV because her heart rate is decreased. C. Your baby needs an IV because she is breathing slower than normal. D. Your baby needs an IV because her fontanels are bulging.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Infants with severe dehydration may not produce tears due to lack of fluid. This indicates the need for IV fluid therapy to rehydrate the baby. Lack of tears is a sign of significant dehydration in infants.

Option B, decreased heart rate, is not a specific sign of dehydration in infants and not a direct indication for IV fluids. Option C, slow breathing, is also not a direct indication of dehydration, as infants may have varied respiratory rates for other reasons. Option D, bulging fontanels, can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure but is not a direct indication for IV fluids in this context.
