1
Rationale 1: Diabetes insipidus results from decreased ADH (antidiuretic hormone) production, so the client will have increased urine output.
Rationale 2: Hyperglycemia is not an effect of diabetes insipidus.
Rationale 3: Hypernatremia results from the volume of fluid that is lost; the client will not have hyponatremia.
Rationale 4: The client will have increased urine output and fluid volume depletion, not retention.
