Pediatric client with diabetes insipidus treated with vasopressin.


Question 1 of 5

A pediatric client with diabetes insipidus (DI) is being treated with vasopressin. The nurse would assess the client closely for signs and symptoms of which condition?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Vasopressin is a synthetic form of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is responsible for regulating water balance in the body. In DI, the body lacks ADH, leading to excessive urination and dehydration. When a client with DI is treated with vasopressin, there is a risk of administering too much, causing an excess of ADH in the body, leading to SIADH. SIADH results in water retention, dilutional hyponatremia, and potential neurological symptoms. The other choices are not directly related to the use of vasopressin in treating DI.
