Aclient with food poisoning has the nursing diagnosis ""diarrhea."" which expected client outcome most directly demonstrates resolution of the problem?

Client will have formed stools within 24 hours

Explanation:

The main features of diarrhea are the increased number of bowel movements and the loss of stool consistency, which becomes watery. One of the most dangerous complications is dehydration. Adults are more resistant, but babies, children and the elderly dehydrate easily, even in less than 1 day.

In the case of the patient exposed in the question who was diagnosed with diarrhea, we can conclude that the expected outcome of the patient that most directly demonstrates problem resolution is that the patient will form stools within 24 hours.
