A school-aged child who has been hospitalized with gastroenteritis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to develop a plan of care for a school-aged child who has been hospitalized with gastroenteritis. Which of the following conditions and client findings should the nurse identify that the child has developed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dehydration and hypovolemic shock. Gastroenteritis can lead to fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances, resulting in dehydration. If severe, dehydration can progress to hypovolemic shock due to inadequate blood volume. Treatment focuses on rehydration to prevent shock.
Choice B: Peritonitis and septic shock is incorrect because peritonitis is usually caused by infection or inflammation of the abdominal lining, not by gastroenteritis. Septic shock is also unlikely in this case.
Choice C: Pancreatitis and cardiogenic shock is incorrect as these conditions are not commonly associated with gastroenteritis in school-aged children.
Choice D: Peptic ulcer and anaphylactic shock is incorrect because gastroenteritis is not typically related to peptic ulcers or anaphylactic shock.
In summary, the child in this scenario is likely experiencing dehydration and is at risk for hypovolemic shock due to gastroenteritis, making choice A
