Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Some medications, such as antibiotics, may destroy normal intestinal flora and cause diarrhea. To promote the return of normal flora, the nurse can recommend an intake of fermented dairy products, such as buttermilk or yogurt.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
When infants and children become ill, they lose most fluids from their extracellular compartment, which quickly leads to dehydration. The nurse would assess skin turgor to identify this problem.
