A nurse conducts an infant assessment on the second day after birth. A physical assessment of the newborn reveals the infant has dry lips and a dry oral cavity and has had only one wet diaper rather than the expected two.
 
  What is the primary nursing diagnosis for this infant?
  1. Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than body requirements related to mother's increased caloric need
  2. Ineffective breastfeeding related to mother's lack of knowledge about breastfeeding techniques
  3. Risk for infection related to impaired skin integrity
  4. Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than body requirements related to dehydration as evidenced by dry mucus membranes and decreased urine output
