Homework Answers
Ans) Assess skin turgor every four hours.
Explaination:
- The client is excreting large amounts of dilute urine. If the client is unable to drink enough fluids, the client will quickly become dehydrated, so tissue turgor should be assessed frequently.
1. Diabetes insipidus is not diabetes mellitus; sliding-scale
insulin is not administered to the client.
2. There is no caffeine restriction for DI.
3. Checking urine ketones is not indicated.
