Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with a sodium level of 116 mEq/L (135-145 mEq/L). Which finding should the nurse expect for this client to have?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lethargy. A sodium level of 116 mEq/L indicates hyponatremia, which can lead to neurological symptoms such as lethargy due to the imbalanced electrolytes affecting brain function. Extreme thirst (
A) is common in hypernatremia, not hyponatremia. Paresthesias (
B) are more indicative of calcium or potassium imbalances. Blood clots (
D) are not directly related to sodium levels.
