A nurse is caring for a child who has watery diarrhea for the past 3 days. Which of the following is an action for the nurse to take?

A. Offer chicken broth: Chicken broth is high in sodium and lacks appropriate electrolytes for rehydration. B. Assist with starting an infusion of a hypertonic solution: Hypertonic solutions are not appropriate for rehydration and can worsen dehydration. C. Assist with initiating oral rehydration therapy: Oral rehydration therapy is the recommended first-line treatment for dehydration caused by diarrhea. D. Keep NPO until diarrhea stops: Keeping the child NPO can exacerbate dehydration and is not evidence-based management for diarrhea.
