The nurse is educating a patient about the different types of bariatric surgeries for weight loss. Which of the following statements indicate a need for further teaching?

Rate (ml/min) = Total Volume (ml) / Time (min).

The total volume of the pantoprazole IV is 10 ml, and the time frame for administration is 4 minutes.

Therefore, the calculation would be: Rate = 10 ml / 4 min, which equals 2.5 ml per minute. So, the nurse should administer 2.5 ml of pantoprazole IV per minute to deliver a total of 40 mg over the 4-minute period

A. A high specific gravity of urine typically indicates concentrated urine, which can occur in dehydration; however, moist mucous membranes suggest adequate hydration. This combination does not indicate severe dehydration.
B. A low specific gravity of urine usually indicates dilute urine, which is not typical in dehydration; it suggests the kidneys are not concentrating urine due to good fluid intake or other factors. While pale skin can indicate poor perfusion, this option does not specifically indicate severe dehydration.
C. A depressed fontanelle (soft spot on the head) and a capillary refill time greater than 4 seconds are significant indicators of severe dehydration in infants. Depressed fontanelles suggest that the infant is not receiving enough fluids, and prolonged capillary refill time indicates poor perfusion and dehydration.
D. Moist skin and mucous membranes indicate adequate hydration. Flushed skin may occur with certain conditions but does not suggest severe dehydration. This option reflects a well-hydrated status rather than dehydration.
