A client with diabetes insipidus asks the nurse about the purpose of a new medication, vasopressin. The nurse provides teaching
enyata [817]

Answer: The correct statement is option 3 "It prevents me from 'peeing' so much."

Explanation:

Diabetes insipidus is an abnormal health condition that occurs due to lack of production of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or the inability of the kidney to respond to produced antidiuretic hormone. This can occur as a result of head trauma, tumours of pituitary gland or genetic origin.

The common symptoms of Diabetes insipidus includes:

--> Excessive production of dilute urine (polyuria)

--> Increased thirst (polydipsia).

In the management of diabetes insipidus, VASOPRESSIN medication is introduced. It has an antidiuretic effect. In its mechanism of action, it decreases water excretion by the kidney through increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts, Therefore the statement made by the patient indicates successful teaching as it helps reduce the volume of urine produced leading to decrease in frequent urination.
