The nurse is caring for a 10-month old client admitted to the pediatric unit with viral gastroenteritis and moderate dehydration. The client is currently receiving IV fluids at the maintenance rate. Over the past 4 hours, the client has vomited twice, and their urine output is 0.5 mL/kg/hr. The client appears increasingly lethargic, and capillary refill is 4 seconds. Which nursing action would be most appropriate?
