NURS 6532 FINAL EXAM REVIEW DECK 1
1.What are signs & symptoms of SIADH (Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic
hormone)?
Increased production of ADH (antidiuretic hormone), hyponatremia, concentrated
urine (from excess water resorption), elevated urine osmolality, mental status
changes from cerebral edema.
2.Diabetes insipidus is associated with what sodium level?
Hypernatremia Psychogenic polydipsia results in urine that is: diluted with low
osmolality and hyponatremia.
3.How would you determine the cause of a patient's AKI who presents with
decreased urine output, history of neurogenic bladder, chronic foley, dark urine,
and Cr increase from 1.3 to 2.1 over 3 months?
Flush the foley catheter to see if urine comes out and assess the patency of the
catheter. This action will unblock clogged sediment or biofilm from chronic
bacteriuria.
