Based on the information in the chart provided, the nurse determines which of the following to be correct regarding this patient during the 8-hour shift?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: The infant's lab results indicated dehydration. The nurse is reviewing the intake and output record and lab results for an infant admitted with dehydration. Lab results are crucial in diagnosing dehydration, such as elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels, and abnormal electrolyte levels.

Choices A and B cannot be determined solely by reviewing the intake and output record.
Choice C is incorrect as lab results indicating dehydration would not be within normal limits.
