The client is admitted with a serum sodium level of 110 mEq/L. Which nursing intervention should be implemented?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Severe hyponatremia (110 mEq/L) increases seizure risk due to cerebral edema. Seizure precautions are the priority to ensure safety. Oral fluids or ADH may worsen hyponatremia, and 10% saline is not standard.
