A nurse is caring for a client with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Fluid resuscitation
Fluid restriction
Administer desmopressin
Sodium restriction
The Correct Answer is B
A. Fluid resuscitation is not appropriate for SIADH, where the issue is fluid retention, not loss.
B. Fluid restriction. SIADH causes excess release of antidiuretic hormone, leading to water retention and dilutional hyponatremia. Restricting fluids helps to correct the sodium imbalance.
C. Desmopressin is an ADH analog and is used in diabetes insipidus, not SIADH.
D. Sodium restriction would worsen hyponatremia in SIADH and is contraindicated.
