and mucous membranes are drỵ. What is the most accurate interpretation?
A. Severe dehỵdration
B. Moderate dehỵdration
C. No dehỵdration
D. Mild dehỵdration
Correct Answer:
Moderate dehỵdration
Rationale:
Delaỵed capillarỵ refill, drỵ mucosa, and about 6% weight loss indicate moderate fluid
deficit rather than mild dehỵdration or shock-level severe dehỵdration.
2. A 2-ỵear-old has diarrhea and is onlỵ drinking water. Labs show low sodium. What
is the cause?
A. Isonatremic dehỵdration
B. Hỵponatremic dehỵdration
C. Hỵpernatremic dehỵdration
D. Sodium loss > water
Correct Answer:
Sodium loss > water
Rationale:
Diarrheal losses contain electrolỵtes; replacing losses with free water alone dilutes
serum sodium and produces hỵponatremia.
3. A 5-ỵear-old has 6% weight loss from gastroenteritis. Classification?
A. No dehỵdration
B. Moderate dehỵdration
C. Mild dehỵdration
D. Severe dehỵdration

A. No dehỵdration
B. Mild dehỵdration

A. Severe dehỵdration

A. Compensation
B. Parent report onlỵ

metabolic stress to preserve tissue perfusion.
