Answer to Question 1

2
Feedback
1. The nurse will see a weight gain because of fluid retention.
2. SIADH causes fluid retention, thus the sodium level rises.
3. Turgor will be increased and doughy.
4. Urine is retained, so the output will be low.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. The sooner the treatment is started, the better for the child.
2. Having more fluid move through the GI track could cause further damage.
3. The cleaning fluid may have a negative reaction with Ipecac and should not be given.
4. Call the Poison Control Center immediately for further information.
