Question

question 7 of 30
a client has been diagnosed with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (siadh). which of the following manifestations would be expected in this client?

• hypernatremia
• increased serum osmolality
• dilute urine
• concentrated urine

Explanation:

SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion) causes excess ADH, leading to increased water reabsorption. This results in concentrated urine (as more water is retained, urine has less water and more solutes), hyponatremia (not hypernatremia), and decreased serum osmolality (not increased). Dilute urine would occur with decreased ADH (like diabetes insipidus), not SIADH.

Answer:

D. Concentrated urine
