A community health nurse is performing a vision screening on a 4-month-old infant. When shining a light source into the infant's visual field, which of the following is an expected finding?

A.

A. Discarding opened cans of formula after 24 hours helps prevent bacterial contamination and growth, which can contribute to diarrhea in clients receiving enteral feedings.

B. Extension tubing should be replaced according to institutional policy and manufacturer recommendations, typically every 24 to 48 hours, but it is not directly related to diarrhea management.

C. Irrigating the tubing with warm water is not a standard practice for managing diarrhea in clients receiving enteral feedings and may disrupt the client's fluid and electrolyte balance.

D. Increasing the infusion rate of enteral feedings is not indicated for managing diarrhea and may exacerbate the problem by overwhelming the client's gastrointestinal tract. The rate of enteral feeding should be adjusted based on the client's nutritional needs and tolerance, as determined by the healthcare provider.

A. Diminished bowel sounds are not typically indicative of fluid overload. They may suggest decreased gastrointestinal motility, but this finding alone does not specifically indicate fluid overload.

B. Bradycardia is not typically associated with fluid overload. Instead, tachycardia may occur as the body attempts to compensate for decreased cardiac output.

C. Hypotension may occur with fluid overload in severe cases, but it is not a consistent or specific finding. Other signs, such as bounding pulses, are more indicative of fluid overload.

D. Bounding pulses, or strong and forceful arterial pulses, can be a sign of fluid overload due to increased blood volume. This finding may be observed in clients receiving excessive enteral feedings or intravenous fluids.
