Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a child who has severe diarrhea. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assess fluid balance. This is the priority because severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which can be life-threatening, so assessing the child's fluid status is crucial. Introducing a regular diet (
A) is not appropriate until fluid balance is stabilized. Rehydration (
C) and maintaining fluid therapy (
