A nurse is admitting a 6-month-old infant who has dehydration. Which of the following amounts of urinary output should indicate to the nurse that the treatment has corrected the fluid imbalance?

Choice A reason: Bleeding precaution is indicated for a child who has leukemia and a critically low platelet count, as it reduces the risk of hemorrhage and injury. The nurse should monitor the child for signs of bleeding, such as petechiae, ecchymosis, epistaxis, hematuria, and melena. The nurse should also avoid invasive procedures, use soft-bristled toothbrushes, apply pressure to venipuncture sites, and administer platelet transfusions as prescribed.

Choice B reason: Droplet precaution is not indicated for a child who has leukemia and a critically low platelet count, unless the child has a respiratory infection that is transmitted by droplets. Droplet precaution involves wearing a mask when within 3 feet of the child, and placing the child in a private room or with a roommate who has the same infection.

Choice C reason: Neutropenic precaution is indicated for a child who has leukemia and a critically low neutrophil count, as it reduces the risk of infection and sepsis. Neutropenic precaution involves placing the child in a private room with positive pressure airflow, wearing gloves, gown, and mask when entering the room, and restricting visitors who are ill or immunocompromised.

Choice D reason: Contact precaution is not indicated for a child who has leukemia and a critically low platelet count, unless the child has a skin or wound infection that is transmitted by direct or indirect contact. Contact precaution involves wearing gloves and gown when entering the room, and placing the child in a private room or with a roommate who has the same infection.

Choice A reason: Applying heat to a bleeding site is not recommended for a child who has hemophilia, as it can increase blood flow and worsen the bleeding. The nurse should teach the parent to apply cold compresses instead.

Choice B reason: Having the child rest is a correct action, as it can reduce the movement of the affected part and prevent further injury or bleeding.

Choice C reason: Compressing the site is a correct action, as it can help stop the bleeding and form a clot. The nurse should teach the parent to apply firm and direct pressure to the site with a clean cloth or bandage.

Choice D reason: Elevating the affected part is a correct action, as it can reduce the swelling and pain caused by the bleeding. The nurse should teach the parent to elevate the part above the level of the heart.
