Answer Choices:
Increased pulse
⚫ Tachycardia (increased heart rate) is a common indicator of dehydration in toddlers.
⚫ Vomiting for prolonged periods leads to fluid loss, which compensates by increasing the heart rate to maintain adequate circulation.
⚫ Hypotension, often associated with dehydration, can result in decreased blood pressure, not increased blood pressure.
⚫ Flat anterior fontanels and distended jugular veins are more indicative of fluid overload or heart failure, not dehydration.
⚫ Increased pulse is a compensatory mechanism in response to dehydration, and it helps maintain perfusion.
