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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cessation of nocturnal enuresis. Desmopressin is a medication used to treat diabetes insipidus by decreasing urine output. Nocturnal enuresis is a common symptom of diabetes insipidus due to excessive urine production at night.
Therefore, the cessation of nocturnal enuresis indicates that the medication is effectively reducing urine output in the child.
Choices A, B, and C are unrelated to the effectiveness of desmopressin in treating diabetes insipidus.
Choice A, heart rate of 140/min, is not a specific indicator of desmopressin effectiveness.
Choice B, capillary refill of 3 seconds, is a measure of peripheral perfusion and not directly related to diabetes insipidus.
Choice C, absence of hypoglycemic episodes, is more relevant to diabetes mellitus and not diabetes insipidus.
