No lesions in the mouth and throat
Weight increase of 1 lb over 3 days Correct
Temperature change from 100.2° F to 99.2° F
Capillary refill slowing from 2 seconds to 3 seconds
Weight increase of 1 lb (0.45 kg) over 3 days
Rationale: Vomiting results in fluid volume deficit. The most accurate method of evaluating fluid volume increase (the desired outcome) is weight. A temperature decrease is not reflective of fluid volume increase. Increasing capillary refill time is indicative of a fluid volume decrease, not an increase. The absence of mouth ulcers would allow the child to drink without pain but does not reflect a fluid volume increase.

B) a moth population is at hardy-weinberg equilibrium. what can you conclude about how the gene pool of the population changes o
mestny [16]
There should not be any changes in the gene pool.

In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the gene pool should have a constant rate. The equilibrium can be achieved if there is no factor that favors one gene more than the others. Since the genes have the equal chance to survive and mating, the ratio of the gene pool should not change dramatically.
