The nurse is caring for a patient who was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. The patient received a hypophysectomy 4 days ago. The patient began to show signs of
postoperative diabetes insipidus 6 hours ago and was treated with IV fluids and one dose of intranasal Desmopressin (DDAVP). How will the nurse know if the
treatment is effective?
