Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 6-month-old infant who has a prescription for clear liquids by mouth after a repair of an intussusception. Which of the following fluids should the nurse select for the infant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Oral electrolyte solution. After a repair of an intussusception, it is important to prevent dehydration and restore electrolyte balance in the infant. Oral electrolyte solutions contain the necessary electrolytes like sodium and potassium to help rehydrate the infant effectively. They also help replenish lost fluids and maintain proper electrolyte levels. Half-strength infant formula (
A) and half-strength orange juice (
B) may not provide the necessary electrolytes and may be too heavy for the infant's system. Sterile water (
C) lacks essential electrolytes and may not effectively rehydrate the infant. In summary, selecting an oral electrolyte solution ensures proper hydration and electrolyte balance for the infant post-surgery.
