Extract:
A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child who was admitted with acute diarrhea and dehydration.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings indicates that oral rehydration therapy has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Urine specific gravity 1.015. This finding indicates effective oral rehydration therapy as it reflects adequate hydration levels. A specific gravity of 1.015 indicates the kidneys are concentrating urine appropriately, signifying sufficient fluid intake and hydration status.
Choice B, respiratory rate 24/min, and C, heart rate 130/min, are not direct indicators of hydration status and can be influenced by various factors.
Choice D, capillary refill greater than 3 seconds, is a sign of poor peripheral perfusion and not directly related to oral rehydration therapy effectiveness.
