Desmopressin (DDAVP) is typically taken orally with a full glass of water to ensure proper absorption and effectiveness. It is important to maintain adequate hydration.

Incorrect choices:

b. This choice is incorrect. Desmopressin is commonly administered orally, intranasally, or subcutaneously, but not via intramuscular injection.

c. This choice is incorrect. Monitoring blood glucose levels is important for clients with diabetes mellitus, not diabetes insipidus.

Incorrect choices:

a. This choice is incorrect. Limiting fluid intake to 500 mL per day is not a typical management approach for diabetes insipidus. Adequate fluid intake is necessary to prevent dehydration.

b. This choice is incorrect. Administering hypertonic saline solution is not a standard treatment for diabetes insipidus and may worsen fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

c. This choice is incorrect. Encouraging excessive fluid consumption is not a suitable approach for managing diabetes insipidus, as it can exacerbate fluid loss.
