Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a sodium level of 155 mEq/L. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Decreased level of consciousness. A sodium level of 155 mEq/L indicates hypernatremia, which can lead to neurological symptoms like confusion, lethargy, and decreased level of consciousness due to cellular dehydration. Increased salivation (
A) is not associated with hypernatremia but rather hyponatremia. Cool, clammy skin (
B) is a sign of hypothermia or shock, not related to sodium levels. Hypertension (
