How are secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and the perception of thirst stimulated? Increase in plasma osmolality The nurse is assessing a client who has been experiencing a high fever with excessive perspiration and diarrhea, with a plasma sodium level of 150 mmol/L. Which clinical manifestation would the nurse associate with these assessment findings? -Oliguria Which arterial blood gas values should the nurse associate with a client reporting surgical pain who has a BP of 142/86, a heart rate of 104/minute, and a respiratory rate of 34/minute? -pH 7.51, PCO2 29, HCO3- 24 Which mechanisms would promote homeostasis when the pH is 7.2? – acidic = build up of acids and lack of breathing -Kussmaul respirations; kidneys reabsorb bicarbonate A 26-year-old client has been admitted with suspected hyponatremia after drinking sevexral litres of tap water in a couple of hours. What would the nurse assess for?
