C
When replacing fluids by mouth in a patient with ECV deficit, choose fluids that contain Na+ (e.g., Pedialyte and Gastrolyte). Liquids containing lactose, caffeine, or low Na+ content are not appropriate when a patient has diarrhea. Strategies to encourage fluid intake include offering small sips of fluid frequently, popsicles, and ice chips.
