A nurse is calculating the output of an infant admitted who has dehydration. When weighing the diaper, the nurse should equate 1 g of wet diaper weight to which of the following amounts of urine?

A. "I will provide low-fat meals for my child.": Children with cystic fibrosis need a high-calorie, high-fat diet to meet their increased energy needs and to help with growth and development due to malabsorption issues.

B. "I will restrict the amount of salt in my child's meals.": Children with cystic fibrosis tend to lose more salt through sweat and often require additional salt in their diet.

C. "I will put my child in daycare to ensure that she socializes with other children.": While socialization is important, children with cystic fibrosis are at higher risk for respiratory infections and should avoid environments where they are more likely to be exposed to pathogens.

D. "I will make sure my child washes her hands before eating.": Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing infections, which are a significant risk for children with cystic fibrosis due to their compromised lung function.

A. Assist with administering a blood transfusion. Blood transfusions are often necessary in sickle cell crisis to manage severe anemia and improve oxygen delivery to tissues. This action helps alleviate the symptoms of the crisis and prevent complications.

B. Withhold opioids to avoid dependence. Opioids are essential for managing the severe pain associated with sickle cell crises. Concerns about dependence should not prevent adequate pain management in an acute setting.

C. Encourage exercise. During a sickle cell crisis, rest is crucial to reduce oxygen demand and prevent further sickling of red blood cells. Exercise is contraindicated during a crisis.

D. Initiate a 2 L/day fluid restriction. Adequate hydration is critical in managing sickle cell crisis, as it helps prevent further sickling of cells. Fluid restriction is inappropriate and could worsen the condition.
