Tina is caring for an infant who is running a very high fever and vomiting whenever Tina tries to feed him some water to keep him hydrated. If she continues to give him water to try to lower his body temperature and increase hydration and, as a result, he vomits more fluid than he is drinking, then he will only get more dehydrated, and his body temperature will rise. What do you think Tina should do to reduce the child’s fever, make him more comfortable, and enhance his ability to drink liquids?
Homework Answers
When the child vomiting frequently they can tolerate only a little amount of liquids. Provide 1 teaspoon liquid every 5 minutes. oral rehydration solutions contain the right amount of electrolytes that will be useful. Replacing fluids with drinks like oral rehydration solution, Pedialyte and other products with sugar and electrolytes with small sips every 5 minutes gaps encourage rehydration and avoid vomiting.
