    Ati Med Surg Proctored Exam

    A nurse is assessing a client who has syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bounding peripheral pulses can occur due to fluid volume overload, which is common in SIADH because of water retention. B. Hyperactive deep tendon reflexes are not typically seen with SIADH; decreased reflexes may occur if severe hyponatremia causes neurologic symptoms. C. Clients with SIADH usually have low urine output because of water retention, not excessive urinary output. D. SIADH causes dilutional hyponatremia; therefore, sodium levels are typically low, not elevated.
