A pregnant client reports experiencing frequent urination at night.
The nurse explains that this symptom is primarily caused by:.
Increased glomerular permeability does not cause nocturia, but it may cause proteinuria, which is the presence of protein in the urine.
Decreased renal blood flow does not cause nocturia, but it may cause renal ischemia, which is a condition where the kidneys do not receive enough blood supply.
Increased tubular reabsorption does not cause nocturia, but it may cause water retention and edema, which are swelling of the body tissues due to fluid accumulation.
This is because a pregnant client may experience frequent urination at night due to increased urinary output caused by the increased blood volume and renal function during pregnancy. This symptom is more common in the first and third trimesters.
