2. The infant will develop metabolic alkalosis.
3. The infant will become dehydrated.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The child is NPO. Weight loss and inadequate nutrition are not related to lack of NG replacement.
Rationale 2: When large quantities of gastric juice is removed, acid is lost and metabolic alkalosis follows.
Rationale 3: The volume would not be sufficient to cause dehydration.
Rationale 4: Hyperbilirubinemia is unrelated to gastric suction.
