Which finding should the nurse anticipate when assessing a client newly diagnosed with diabetes insipidus (DI)?
ExplanationDI is associated with decreased production or secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This causes increased urine output and increased plasma osmolality. Weight loss is secondary to polyuria. Hyperglycemia is associated with diabetes mellitus, not DI. Profuse sweating and flushed skin are associated with hyperthyroidism.
