Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a year-old child who has had watery diarrhea for the past 3 days. Which of the following is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take?

A. Offer the child guitar chicken broth B. Initiate oral rehydration therapy C. Start hypertonic solution D. Keep NPO until the diarrhea subsides

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Initiate oral rehydration therapy. This is the most appropriate action because the child has been experiencing watery diarrhea for 3 days, which can lead to dehydration due to fluid loss. Oral rehydration therapy helps replace lost fluids and electrolytes, preventing dehydration. Offering the child just chicken broth (
A) may not provide adequate electrolyte replacement. Starting a hypertonic solution (
C) may be too aggressive and can lead to electrolyte imbalances. Keeping the child NPO (
D) can worsen dehydration. In summary, initiating oral rehydration therapy is crucial to prevent dehydration in a child with watery diarrhea.
