Diabetes Insipidus

Diabetes Insipidus ( 30 Questions)

Which intervention is a key component of the management plan for a client with diabetes insipidus (DI)?



Correct Answer: D

Desmopressin (DDAVP) is a synthetic form of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that is commonly used to manage diabetes insipidus by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys and reducing urine output.

Incorrect choices:

a. This choice is incorrect. Limiting fluid intake to 500 mL per day is not a typical management approach for diabetes insipidus. Adequate fluid intake is necessary to prevent dehydration.

b. This choice is incorrect. Administering hypertonic saline solution is not a standard treatment for diabetes insipidus and may worsen fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

c. This choice is incorrect. Encouraging excessive fluid consumption is not a suitable approach for managing diabetes insipidus, as it can exacerbate fluid loss.
