1. This child is demonstrating signs and symptoms of dehydration and needs immediate intervention with intravenous fluids. The nurse should also assess if the child has had a decreased urine output and continue to monitor the child's intake and output.
2. The child is past the transmission state of illness.
3. These are important factors, but they are not the priority at this time.
4. Viral infections can cause fevers, and no antibiotics should be used at that time.
