RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam
A nurse is assessing a 5-year-old child who has diabetes insipidus and is receiving desmopressin. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the medication is effective?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Diabetes insipidus does not cause hypoglycemia, so this is not relevant. B. Capillary refill time is unrelated to diabetes insipidus management. C. A heart rate of 140/min is tachycardic and may indicate dehydration or other complications, not medication effectiveness. D. Desmopressin reduces excessive urine output, and a cessation of nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) indicates improved fluid balance and medication effectiveness.
