Question 1 of 5

Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of severe dehydration?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sunken anterior fontanel. This finding is indicative of severe dehydration in infants, as it suggests significant fluid loss and decreased tissue turgor. A sunken fontanel is a late sign of dehydration.
Choice A is incorrect as a capillary refill time of 3 seconds is within normal limits.
Choice C may be seen in mild to moderate dehydration, but severe dehydration would involve a greater weight loss.
Choice D is not specific to dehydration, as tear production can still occur even in cases of dehydration.
