Question 3 of 5
The nurse is working on the pediatric floor, caring for an infant who is very fussy and has a diagnosis of DI. Which parameter should the nurse monitor while the infant is on fluid restrictions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a patient with diabetes insipidus (DI) who is on fluid restrictions, monitoring urine output is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the treatment regimen. DI is a condition characterized by excessive urination and thirst due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). By monitoring urine output, the nurse can determine if the restrictions are achieving the goal of decreasing urine volume and preventing dehydration. Changes in urine output can also indicate the need for adjustments in the treatment plan. Monitoring oral intake, appearance of mucous membranes, and pulse and temperature are important aspects of pediatric care but are not as directly related to managing fluid restrictions in a patient with DI.
