Question

A child admitted to the hospital with an elevated serum sodium level is receiving 5% dextrose with 0.45 normal saline solution. The parent asks the child's nurse why the child is receiving sodium. What is the nurse's best reply? "Your child's sodium is low; we need to give some more sodium IV." "Your child's sodium is high; I'll stop the infusion and check with the health care provider." "Your child's sodium is high; but if the serum sodium level is decreased too rapidly, it may cause seizures." "Your child's sodium is normal; the solution will maintain the level."
