Answer to Question 1

A
No urine output in 6 hours needs to be reported because it indicates dehydration. Two loose stools in 8 hours is not a serious concern. If blood is obvious in the stool or the frequency increases to one bowel movement every hour for more than 8 hours, the physician should be notified. A fever greater than 101F should be reported to the infant's physician. It is normal for the infant who is not ill to nap for 2 hours. The infant who is ill may nap longer than the typical amount.

Answer to Question 2

A
The primary focus of managing vomiting is detection of the cause and then treatment of the cause. Metabolic alkalosis results from persistent vomiting. Prevention of complications is the secondary focus of treatment. The child with persistent vomiting should be positioned upright or side-lying to prevent aspiration. Recording intake and output is a nursing intervention but it is not the primary focus of treatment.
