Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 5-year-old child who has diabetes insipidus and is receiving desmopressin. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cessation of nocturnal enuresis. Desmopressin is a medication used to treat diabetes insipidus by increasing water reabsorption, reducing urine output, and improving symptoms like excessive thirst and urination. Cessation of nocturnal enuresis indicates that the medication is effectively reducing urine production during the night, a common symptom in children with diabetes insipidus.
Choices A, C, and D are not directly related to the effectiveness of desmopressin in treating diabetes insipidus. Heart rate and capillary refill time are indicators of cardiovascular function, while absence of hypoglycemic episodes relates to blood glucose levels, not the medication's effectiveness in managing diabetes insipidus.
