Sample Question
A mother brings her six-month-old son to see you in the emergency department in January. The child had an uneventful prenatal course, and growth and development have been normal to this point. The child is primarily breast fed, but his mother did begin to introduce solids at 4 months of age. The child now presents with emesis and diarrhea of two days duration. She has noted no blood in his stools. In addition, the patient has had several episodes of emesis, and does not seem to have tolerated any oral intake. You inquire about urine output, and the patient s mother reports one wet diaper yesterday and none today. She denies any fevers. The patient does attend day care, and according to his mother, there have been several other children there with a stomach flu. On physical examination, heart rate is 165, and the remainder of the vital signs are within normal limits. Weight is 6.3 kg. The patient weighed 7 kg at his pediatrician s office earlier this week. The patient is crying but consolable with the examination. He appears ill and listless. Eyes appear sunken and lips are dry. The patient is not producing tears with his crying. Anterior fontanel is sunken. The patient s lungs are clear, and auscultation of the heart reveals no murmurs. Capillary refill is 3-4 seconds, but skin turgor appears normal. Examination of the rectal area reveals redness and excoriation. Given the patient s history, you suspect gastroenteritis. You give the pts mother a bottle of oral rehydration solution and instruct her to give the child a teaspoon every 5 minutes. While explaining the instructions to his mother, the child drinks several ounces from his bottle and promptly vomits on you. Of the following, the next best step in this patient s management is:

Allow the mother to try infant formula instead of oral rehydration solution before considering intravenous (IV) fluid replacement

Give the patient 50 mg/kg of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) IM x 1 after drawing blood cultures

Send stool for routine stool cultures, O&P, fecal leukocytes, and rotavirus

Place a peripheral IV and give 140 ml of 1/2 normal saline (saline 0.45 %) as a bolus

Place a peripheral IV and give 140 ml of normal saline (saline 0.9 %) as a bolus

Vascular calcification has been shown to occur only when patients are in positive calcium balance.
