The LPN/LVN is assisting with the care of a newly admitted patient who has had severe nausea and vomiting over the past 4 days.

The patient is probably dehydrated. The presence of a gram-negative bacterium is confirmed. Liver enzymes may be dangerously elevated. Electrolytes may be out of balance.
