Six-month-old Joshua is brought to the acute care center by his parents. The parents tell the nurse

bottle. The nurse finds the infant’s temperature to be 100.8 °F axillary. His weight is 7.7 kg and
he is crying inconsolably. Joshua’s anterior fontanel is flat when he is crying and his skin feels
hot to the touch and dry. Joshua’s mother tells the nurse that when the infant saw his physician
10 days ago, he weighed 8.1 kg.

should the nurse expect to provide?
