Q

What are 5 risk factors for dehydration in N/V?

A
  1. Increased extracellular fluid percentage and an increase in body water compared to adults.
  2. Increased basal metabolic rate.
  3. Increased body surface area.

47
Q

A

40-50 mL/kg over 4-6 hours

48
Q

When do you reintroduce bland solids during rehydration treatment?

A

After a minimum of 4-6 hours.

49
Q

Mild, moderate, or severe dehydration?

RR is normal or rapid.

50
Q

What liquids do you avoid in rehydration?

A
  • Plain water
  • Apple juice
  • Soda
  • Milk
  • Sports drinks
51
Q

Mild, moderate, or severe dehydration?

Fontanel is sunken.

A
  • Moderate
  • Severe
52
Q

Mild, moderate, or severe dehydration?

  • LOC is lethargic to comatose (infants and young children).
  • Often conscious, apprehensive (older children).
53
Q

How do you calculate the daily maintenance fluid requirements?

A
  • Child’s weight (kg)
  • 100 mL/kg 0-10 kg
  • 50 mL/kg 10-20 kg
  • 20 mL/kg for remaining kg
  • So, if a child weighs 23 kg, it would be: 1,000 + 500 + 60 = 1,560 mL/24 hours
54
Q

Which type of dehydration (isotonic/isonatremic, hypotonic/hyponatremic, or hypertonic/hypernatremic)?

Fluid loss not balanced by fluid intake. Sodium and water losses in proportion.

A

Isotonic/Isonatremic
