OptionsCorrectIncorrect
I will monitor my urine output and pay attention to the volume and color.
I will always wear my medical alert bracelet.
I will use the same scale and wear a similar amount of clothing when I take my weekly weight.
If I gain more than 2.2 lb (1 kg), I will go to the emergency department (ED).
If I become thirstier, I may need another dose of the medication.

Correct Answer: A,B,C

Rationale: Clients with diabetes insipidus (DI) must monitor urine output closely because polyuria and diluted urine indicate under-treatment, while sudden reduced output and darker urine may suggest fluid retention or excessive desmopressin dosing. A medical alert bracelet is essential for emergency situations since DI can lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances if left untreated. Monitoring body weight trends is crucial in DI management, as sudden weight gain may indicate fluid retention (over-treatment), while weight loss may suggest dehydration. Using a consistent method ensures accurate tracking.
