The registered nurse (RN) is caring for a client who has a closed head injury from a motor vehicle
collision. Which finding should the RN assess the client for the risk of diabetes insipidus (DI)?
High fever.
Low blood pressure.
Muscle rigidity.
Polydipsia.
Polydipsia.
Rationale
A characteristic finding of DI is excretion of large quantities of urine (5 to 20L/day), and most clients
compensate for fluid loss by drinking large amounts of water (polydipsia). DI can occur when there has
been damage or injury to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus as a result of head trauma, tumor or an
illness such as meningitis. This damage interrupts the ADH production, storage and release causing the
excessive urination and thirst.
The registered nurse (RN) is caring for a client who developed oliguria and was diagnosed with sepsis
and dehydration 48 hours ago. Which assessment finding indicates to the RN that the client is
stabilizing?
Urine output of 40 mL/hour.
