A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes insipidus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Moist mucous membranes: Diabetes insipidus causes large-volume dilute urine and polyuria, which typically results in dry mucous membranes from fluid loss. B. Bounding peripheral pulses: Volume depletion from DI usually produces weak, thready pulses rather than bounding pulses. C. Bradycardia: Fluid loss and hypovolemia more commonly cause tachycardia as a compensatory response. D. Decreased urine specific gravity: In DI the kidneys fail to concentrate urine, producing very dilute urine with a low specific gravity.
