Question 4 :
A female infant recently admitted with vomiting and diarrhea now weighs 10 kg. Her weight at a previous well-baby visit was 11 kg. Which percentage of body weight loss for this infant should the nurse document in the electronic medical record?
Correct Answer: ["9.09%"]
Percentage of Weight Loss = (Initial Weight - Current Weight) / Initial Weight × 100
Given: Initial Weight = 11 kg Current Weight = 10 kg
Percentage of Weight Loss = (11 kg - 10 kg) / 11 kg × 100 = 1 / 11 × 100 ≈ 9.09%
