A nurse is assessing a client with the diagnosis of SIADH. The nurse would anticipate the client's physical findings to be consistent with:
 
  1. severe overhydration.
  2. acute renal failure.
  3. severe dehydration.
  4. a shock state.

Question 2

A client with SIADH is upset about being prescribed a fluid restriction. Which explanation by the nurse is most appropriate?
 
  1. Your IV fluids are providing you with the liquids you need. You should not be thirsty.
  2. Your body is retaining too much water. Decreasing your intake, along with the other medicine you are receiving, helps correct the problem.
  3. Rinse your mouth with salt water. It will help to decrease your thirst.
  4. Your kidney is not working as it should. Decreasing your fluid intake allows your kidney to rest.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: SIADH is characterized by water retention. The urine output is scant, and the serum is very dilute.
Rationale 2: The symptoms of SIADH are different from those for acute renal failure.
Rationale 3: The client is not dehydrated.
Rationale 4: SIADH does not produce symptoms similar to those of a shock state.
Global Rationale: SIADH is characterized by water retention. The urine output is scant, and the serum is very dilute. These are not the same as symptoms of acute renal failure. SIADH does not produce symptoms similar to those of a shock state.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Any intravenous therapy will be a low-volume infusion.
Rationale 2: SAIDH clients already have too much fluid in their intracellular and extracellular spaces. Sodium levels are low because of hemodilution. Restricting fluid helps prevent signs of dilutional hyponatremia.
Rationale 3: Rinsing with salt water does not decrease thirst.
Rationale 4: SIADH is not a renal problem.
Global Rationale: SAIDH clients already have too much fluid in their intracellular and extracellular spaces. Sodium levels are low because of hemodilution.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
