    This document summarizes the assessment and care of a 4.5-month-old female infant presenting with fluid volume deficit. Key findings include decreased urine output, pale gray skin with poor turgor, and altered vital signs including a heart rate of 170-190 bpm. Laboratory tests revealed abnormal results. The plan of care was to monitor vital signs and intake/output, replace fluids and electrolytes, provide oral hygiene and position changes, educate the mother on monitoring hydration and signs requiring further evaluation. The infant responded well to treatment and the mother was receptive to health teachings.
