ATI n269 Med Surg Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

In reviewing admission orders for a patient admitted with SIADH, the nurse should question which order?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion), the body retains excessive water, leading to dilutional hyponatremia (low sodium levels). Administering hypertonic saline (3% NS) can exacerbate the condition by rapidly increasing sodium levels, which may cause demyelination of neurons (a condition called osmotic demyelination syndrome). Hypertonic saline is typically only used in severe hyponatremia with neurologic symptoms and should be carefully monitored.
