Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: The nurse realizes that this child did not have isotonic dehydration.
B Correct: The nurse is working with a child who has a diagnosis of gastroenteritis. The child becomes dehydrated, has serum sodium of 125 milliequivalents per liter, and goes into shock. After corrective measures to restore the child's electrolyte balance and hydration status, the nurse realizes that this child had hypotonic dehydration. Hypotonic dehydration occurs then there is a sodium loss greater than the water loss, resulting in a serum sodium level below 130 milliequivalents per liter. The child can go into shock.
C Incorrect: The nurse realizes that this child did not have isotonic dehydration.
D Incorrect: There is not a type of dehydration called idiopathic dehydration. Idiopathic means without a known cause.
