ATI Pediatrics Exam I | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The best response for the nurse to give a parent about contacting the physician regarding an infant with diarrhea is choice B: Call your paediatrician if the infant has not had a wet diaper for 6 hours. This is the correct answer because infants are at risk of dehydration due to diarrhea, and decreased urine output (no wet diaper for 6 hours) can be an early sign of dehydration. Prompt medical attention is necessary to prevent complications.

Choice A is incorrect because a temperature greater than 100°F may not always be indicative of a serious issue in the context of diarrhea.
Choice C is incorrect as two loose stools in an 8-hour period may not necessarily warrant immediate medical attention.
Choice D is incorrect as increased napping alone is not a specific indicator of a serious complication related to diarrhea.
