Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Hypertension.

Increased urine output.

Capillary refill of 2 seconds.

Increased respiratory rate.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

An increased respiratory rate is a sign of severe dehydration in infants.

Dehydration occurs when an infant loses so much body fluid that they are not able to maintain ordinary function.

Choice A is wrong because hypertension is not a sign of severe dehydration in infants.

Choice B is wrong because increased urine output is not a sign of severe dehydration in infants.

In fact, decreased urine output is a sign of dehydration 2.

Choice C is wrong because a capillary refill of 2 seconds is normal and not a sign of severe dehydration in infants.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A decrease in peripheral edema is an indication that the furosemide medication is effective.

Furosemide is a diuretic that helps to reduce fluid buildup in the body, including peripheral edema, which is a common symptom of heart failure.

Choice B is wrong because furosemide does not directly decrease cardiac output.

Choice C is wrong because furosemide does not increase venous pressure.

Choice D is wrong because furosemide can actually cause a decrease in potassium levels, not an increase.

A. "A nurse will insert an IV prior to the test.” B. "We will measure the amount of protein in your baby's urine over a 24 hour period.” C. "The test will measure the amount of chloride in your baby's sweat.” D. "Your baby will need to fast for 8 hours prior to the test.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Pilocarpine iontophoresis is a test used to diagnose cystic fibrosis by measuring the amount of chloride in a person’s sweat.

Choice A is wrong because an IV is not necessary for this test.

Choice B is wrong because the test measures chloride in sweat, not protein in urine.

Choice D is wrong because fasting is not required for this test.
