A low-grade fever may be present in appendicitis, but it is not a specific indicator of perforation. Fever is more commonly associated with infection or inflammation.

Rovsing's sign refers to referred pain in the lower right quadrant when the left side of the abdomen is palpated, and it is present in many cases of appendicitis. Its absence is not a reliable indicator of perforation.

A flaccid abdomen is more suggestive of peritonitis, which can occur after perforation. However, a sudden decrease in pain is a stronger sign of perforation.

Diabetes mellitus is not directly linked to excessive milk consumption. While a poor diet can contribute to other health issues, it is not typically associated with diabetes in toddlers.

Obesity could result from excessive milk intake if it leads to an imbalance in caloric intake versus expenditure, but iron deficiency anemia is a more likely concern due to the lack of solid food intake.

Rickets is typically related to vitamin D deficiency, not directly to excessive milk consumption. Although vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption, it is not typically impacted by milk alone.

Water alone is not the best option for rehydration in cases of gastroenteritis. It does not replace lost electrolytes, which are essential in such situations.

Broth may provide some hydration, but it can be too high in sodium and lacks the proper electrolyte balance for rehydration.

Diluted apple juice is not appropriate for rehydration. It lacks the necessary electrolytes and can even worsen diarrhea due to its sugar content.

Cooked egg whites should not be introduced to infants until later (around 1 year), as they can be a potential allergen and cause food sensitivities.

Pureed meats are a good source of protein but are typically introduced after cereals. They can be an option after iron-fortified cereals.

Strained fruits are usually introduced after iron-fortified cereal because they are not rich in iron, and iron is a priority at this developmental stage.

Wheat contains gluten, which is not tolerated by children with celiac disease. It must be avoided to prevent triggering symptoms.

Barley also contains gluten and should be excluded from the diet of a child with celiac disease.

Rye contains gluten and should be avoided in the diet of a child with celiac disease.

Addison’s disease is characterized by adrenal insufficiency, not fluid volume excess. Monitoring for fluid volume deficit is more appropriate.

Hyperglycemia is not a typical manifestation of Addison's disease, as the condition is associated with a deficiency of cortisol, which can result in low blood glucose levels.

A low-sodium diet is not indicated for Addison's disease; in fact, the child may require increased sodium intake due to adrenal insufficiency.

Half-strength infant formula is not a clear liquid and could be too complex for an infant recovering from surgery.

Sterile water does not provide electrolytes, which are important for recovery from surgery and preventing dehydration.

Half-strength orange juice is not appropriate post-surgery because the acidity can irritate the stomach and intestines, delaying recovery.

Monitoring for fluid volume excess is not appropriate for Addison's disease, where there is usually fluid volume deficit due to low aldosterone levels.

Hyperglycemia is not commonly associated with Addison's disease; instead, hypoglycemia can occur.

A low-sodium diet is inappropriate for children with Addison's disease. They typically need extra salt due to a deficiency in aldosterone.

Residuals are typically checked during the feeding process to assess gastric emptying and prevent overfeeding, but it is not the priority before starting the feed.

A higher Fowler's position (30 to 45 degrees) is recommended to reduce the risk of aspiration. Low Fowler’s position does not promote proper digestion and increases the risk of aspiration.

While warming the solution is often done for comfort, it is not the first priority before administering enteral feedings. The primary concern is confirming the placement of the NG tube.
