Dehydration (what it means):

Dehydration means loss of body water (“de” = loss, “hydration” = water), common in diarrhea, especially in infants.

Why temperature method matters:

In a 1-year-old with diarrhea, the rectal area can be irritated and sensitive.

Rectal Method:

Rectal temperature means inserting a thermometer into the rectum. In children with diarrhea, this can cause injury or discomfort and is avoided.

Safer options:

Tympanic (ear), axillary (underarm), and electronic methods are safer in this situation.

Final Point:

So, the nurse should avoid the rectal method in this child.
