A patient with chronic diabetes insipidus (DI) is
instructed to weigh themselves daily. This weight
should be taken with the same scale and obtained after
the first-morning void.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Fluid restrictions
would be appropriate for a patient with syndrome of
inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). This would
not be appropriate for DI as the patient will need to
consume more fluids to replace those that are lost.
Salty snacks are not encouraged because this may
hasten the hypernatremia associated with this disease.
Logging intake and output are not useful because this
provides a crude way of assessing fluid status.

, 4|Page
Ketorolac is a medication used to treat pain and
pyrexia. A patient exhibiting a decrease in pain and
having a decrease in temperature would be a
therapeutic response.
Choices B, C, and E are incorrect. Ketorolac does not
therapeutically lower blood pressure, increase urinary
output, or increase muscle coordination. Medications
that could be used to lower blood pressure would be
agents such as lisinopril, atenolol, etc. Agents used to
increase urinary output would be diuretics such as
furosemide. The improvement in muscle coordination
may be achieved by medications such as levodopa-
carbidopa.
