Question 1 of 5
A client who is newly diagnosed with diabetes insipidus (DI) is receiving a synthetic vasopressin intravenously. Which side effect of vasopressin reported by the client should the nurse report to the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Worsening headache may indicate water intoxication or hyponatremia from excessive vasopressin-induced water retention, requiring immediate provider notification. Polyuria, low specific gravity, and polydipsia are DI symptoms, not vasopressin side effects.
