Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has acute diarrhea and reports that he is thirsty. Which of the following fluids should the nurse give the child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pedialyte. Pedialyte is the most appropriate fluid for a child with acute diarrhea who is thirsty because it helps replace lost electrolytes and fluids. It contains the right balance of electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, which are essential for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance. Broth (
A) may be too high in sodium and low in other essential electrolytes. Apple juice (
B) and cherry gelatin (
C) contain high sugar content, which can worsen diarrhea. Choosing Pedialyte over water (E) is important as water alone may not replace the lost electrolytes.
