Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Goals for the patient with DI should include fluid therapy maintenance, energy conservation, and assessment for bradycardia. DI patients are often constipated and frail from weight loss.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Removal of the pituitary gland is most often done microsurgically. The usual approach is trans-sphenoidal via the nose or at the junction of the gums and upper lip, and a nasal drip pad is placed. After surgery it is important that the patient not brush his teeth, cough, sneeze, blow his nose, or bend forward, as these may interfere with the healing process. The patient is allowed to raise his arms above his head.
