Weak thready pulse the nurse will expect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diarrhea means loose , watery bowel that will occur frequently . Diarrhea can occur due to various factors such as stress, anxiety, liquid diet as well as due to contaminated food and water.

The symptoms of diarrhea are abdominal cramps and pains, nausea, fever, blood in the stool, bloating. When a person is suffering from diarrhea the patient should drink ample amount of water as during diarrhea water loss takes place. When a person is suffering due to diarrhea consult a doctor as soon as possible.
