1. Question
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) is prescribed for the treatment of diabetes insipidus. The nurse administering the medication monitors the client for which therapeutic response?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale.
Option 1 is correct
Rationale: Desmopressin promotes renal conservation of water. The hormone carries out this action by acting on the collecting ducts of the kidney to increase their permeability to water, which results in increased water reabsorption. The therapeutic effect of this medication would be manifested by a decreased urine output. Options 2, 3, and 4 are unrelated to the effects of this medication.
