Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving desmopressin intranasally. Which assessment parameters would the nurse monitor to determine the effectiveness of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Urine output. Desmopressin is a synthetic form of vasopressin used to manage diabetes insipidus. Monitoring urine output is crucial as desmopressin helps to reduce excessive urination by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Therefore, a decrease in urine output indicates the effectiveness of the medication. Pupillary response (
B), temperature (
C), and apical heart rate (
D) are not directly related to the mechanism of action of desmopressin and would not provide accurate assessment of its effectiveness.
