ATI Pediatric Nursing n100 Exam Questions

Extract:

A client who has a fluid volume deficit with a diagnosis of gastroenteritis.


Question 1 of 5

The physician has ordered replacement fluids for a client who has a fluid volume deficit with a diagnosis of gastroenteritis. The nurse would expect the use of which type of fluids initially upon admission?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Isotonic fluids. Isotonic fluids have a similar concentration of solutes as in the body, making them ideal for rapid fluid replacement without causing a shift in intracellular or extracellular compartments. In a client with gastroenteritis and fluid volume deficit, isotonic fluids like normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution help restore fluid balance effectively. Hypotonic fluids (choice
B) would cause fluid to shift into cells, risking cellular swelling. Hypertonic fluids (choice
C) would draw fluid out of cells, potentially worsening dehydration. Colloids (choice
D) are used for specific conditions like hypoproteinemia or severe hypovolemia, not as initial fluid replacement in gastroenteritis.
