degrees C (101 F) blood pressure is 59/29 mmHg, Resp rate is 70/min and shallow, and oxygen sat is 94%
on 100% oxygen. His capillary refills time is 4-5 seconds, and he has mottled, cool extremities. The infant
weighs 6 Kg. Which assessment finding indicates that the infant is in hypotensive shock?
hypovolemic shock - ANSWER You are caring for a 3 month old boy with a 2 day history of fever, vomiting

weighs 6 Kg. On the basis of this infants presentation, which type of shock does this infant have?
20 ml/kg normal saline - ANSWER You are caring for a 3 month old boy with a 2 day history of fever,

is 94% on 100% oxygen. His capillary refills time is 4-5 seconds, and he has mottled, cool extremities. The
infant weighs 6 Kg. You have decided that this infant Needs fluid resuscitation. How much fluid should
