Your patient is a 60-year-old male who is conscious and alert, sitting on a toilet. He appears to be in moderate distress and complains of nausea and diarrhea. The patient states that he is allergic to eggs and accidentally ate pancakes made with eggs this morning. He describes a 4-hour history of severe diarrhea and vomiting. HR = 124, BP = 92/60, RR = 16, SaO2 = 98%. The physical examination reveals no urticaria or angioedema; his skin is cool and clammy, and his lung sounds are clear. Based on these findings, what should be your greatest concern?
A) None; there is no immediate life threat because this is largely a matter of discomfort
B) Cardiac arrest due to ventricular dysrhythmia
C) Acute dehydration and cardiovascular collapse
D) Respiratory failure
