Question 1 of 5
Which patient is at the highest risk for dehydration?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Elderly patients with fever, nausea, and vomiting are at the highest risk for dehydration due to increased fluid loss from fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. Fever leads to increased sweating, while nausea and vomiting result in fluid loss from the body. Elderly individuals may already have reduced fluid reserves, making them more susceptible to dehydration. The other choices are not as high-risk because: B: intentional fluid restriction may lead to dehydration but typically takes longer; C: diarrhea can cause dehydration, but it is more easily managed with oral rehydration solutions; D: infants may be at risk for dehydration but typically have higher fluid reserves compared to the elderly.
