Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old toddler who has dehydration. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heart rate 148/min. A heart rate of 148/min in a 3-year-old toddler with dehydration indicates tachycardia, which is a significant finding that should be reported to the provider. Tachycardia is a compensatory mechanism in response to dehydration to maintain cardiac output. It can indicate hypovolemia and the need for further intervention. The other choices (B: Potassium 3.9 mEq/L, C: Respiratory rate 22/min, D: Sodium 142 mEq/L) are within normal limits for a 3-year-old and do not directly indicate dehydration or immediate concern. Reporting a high heart rate is crucial for timely intervention in managing the toddler's dehydration.
