Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has hyponatremia and is receiving an infusion of a prescribed hypertonic solution. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the treatment is effective?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Improved cognition. In hyponatremia, the brain swells due to low sodium levels, causing neurological symptoms. Hypertonic solutions help raise sodium levels, reducing brain swelling, and improving cognition. Absent Chvostek's sign (
A) is associated with hypocalcemia, not hyponatremia. Decreased vomiting (
B) is a general symptom improvement but does not directly reflect the effectiveness of treating hyponatremia. Absence of cardiac arrhythmias (
C) is important, but it does not specifically indicate improvement in hyponatremia. Improved cognition (
D) directly correlates with resolving the underlying issue of brain swelling due to low sodium levels, making it the most appropriate indicator of treatment effectiveness.
