Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Toddlers are more active than infants and thus lose more fluid through sweat. They also have a higher metabolic rate and require more fluid to maintain their body functions. However, toddlers may not always drink enough fluids to match their fluid losses, so it is important to encourage them to drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration. Option A and B are not true, and option D is not always reliable as some toddlers may not drink enough even when thirsty.
