4-year-old admitted with acute diarrhea and dehydration.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old who was admitted with acute diarrhea and dehydration. Which finding indicates that oral rehydration therapy has been effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Urine specific gravity 1.015 (nl. 1.005-1.030). This finding indicates effective oral rehydration therapy because it shows improved kidney function and hydration status. A specific gravity within the normal range (1.005-1.030) suggests adequate hydration and proper fluid balance.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly reflect the effectiveness of rehydration therapy. Capillary refill greater than 3 seconds suggests poor perfusion, a respiratory rate of 24/min is within normal limits for a 4-year-old, and a heart rate of 130/bpm is elevated but may not directly reflect hydration status.
