A nurse is caring for a client who has fluid volume deficit and is receiving a continuous IV infusion. Which of the following findings indicates the treatment has been effective?

A) Milk and eggs are among the most common food allergens in toddlers. Cow's milk protein allergy is one of the most common food allergies in infancy and early childhood. It can cause a range of symptoms, including skin reactions, gastrointestinal symptoms, and respiratory issues. Similarly, egg allergy is also prevalent in toddlers and can manifest with symptoms such as skin reactions, gastrointestinal upset, and respiratory symptoms.

B) Eggs, like cow's milk, are common food allergens in toddlers. Egg allergy can present with various symptoms, including skin reactions like hives, digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea, and respiratory symptoms like wheezing or nasal congestion.

C) Citrus fruits are less commonly associated with allergies compared to milk and eggs. While citrus fruits can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, they are not typically among the top allergens in toddlers.

D) Bananas are also not among the most common food allergens in toddlers. While it is possible for individuals to be allergic to bananas, such allergies are less prevalent compared to milk and egg allergies.

A. Place an identification bracelet:

While important for identification purposes, placing an identification bracelet is not the priority immediately following birth. Ensuring the newborn's physiological stability takes precedence.

B. Administer eye prophylaxis:

Administering eye prophylaxis is an essential newborn care procedure to prevent neonatal conjunctivitis caused by exposure to maternal gonorrhea or chlamydia. However, it is not the priority immediately after ensuring a patent airway.

C. Administer vitamin K:

Administering vitamin K is important for preventing vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) in newborns. However, it is typically done after drying the skin and other immediate newborn care tasks.

D. Dry the skin:

This is the correct answer. Drying the newborn's skin is the priority after ensuring a patent airway. Drying helps prevent heat loss and stimulates the newborn's breathing and circulation. It is an essential step in newborn care immediately after birth to promote thermal stability and adaptation to extrauterine life.
