Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect: Gatorade would not be best for rehydrating the dehydrated children because it has a high-carbohydrate content, low electrolyte concentrations, and a high osmolality.
B Incorrect: Fruit juices would not be best for rehydrating the dehydrated children for the same reasons Gatorade is not appropriate.
C Correct: The nurse is working as a volunteer on a health care team serving in a clinic in a village in a third world country. Several children come to the clinic in a mild or moderate state of dehydration. Pedialyte would be best for rehydrating the dehydrated children. Rehydration solutions should contain glucose, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. Glucose must be present for the intestines to absorb sodium chloride.
D Incorrect: Athletic drinks would not be best for rehydrating the dehydrated children for the same reasons Gatorade is not appropriate.
