Question 4 of 5
A client is admitted to the hospital with recently diagnosed Type I diabetes mellitus and is to have fasting blood work drawn this morning. At 7:00 A.M., the lab has not arrived to draw the blood. The client's dose of regular insulin is scheduled for 7:30 A.M. What is the best action for the nurse to take?

Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with a pituitary tumor developed syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Which interventions should the nurse implement?
