Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hyponatremia can be caused by Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) due to the body's inability to effectively regulate sodium and water balance. In CHF, decreased cardiac output leads to decreased blood flow to the kidneys, triggering the release of aldosterone, which causes sodium and water retention, diluting blood sodium levels. Stroke (
A) does not directly affect sodium levels. Dehydration (
B) would lead to hypernatremia, not hyponatremia. Increased aldosterone secretion (
C) would likely cause hypernatremia.
