Question 1 of 5

A client is experiencing diabetes insipidus as a result of cranial surgery. Which anticipated therapy should the nurse plan to implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client with diabetes insipidus excretes large amounts of extremely dilute urine. This usually occurs as a result of decreased synthesis or the release of antidiuretic hormone in clients with conditions such as head injury, surgery near the hypothalamus, or increased intracranial pressure. Corrective measures include allowing ample oral fluid intake, administering IV fluid as needed to replace sensible and insensible losses, and administering vasopressin. Diuretics are not administered. Sodium is not administered because the serum sodium level is usually high, as is the serum osmolality.
