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 client with hyponatremia (sodium level <135 mEq/L) may experience lethargy due to neurological changes caused by the imbalance. Sodium plays a crucial role in nerve cell function, and low levels can lead to neurological symptoms like fatigue and confusion. Extreme thirst (
A) is more common in hypernatremia. Paresthesias (
B) are not typically associated with hyponatremia. Blood clots (
D) are not directly related to sodium levels.
