Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyponatremia is a condition characterized by low levels of sodium in the blood. Symptoms can include lethargy, confusion, and seizures. The administration of a sodium chloride solution can help to increase sodium levels and alleviate these symptoms. Hypertension, tingling of fingers and toes, and abnormalities on a cardiac rhythm strip are not typically associated with hyponatremia, so the resolution of these symptoms would not be an appropriate measure of successful treatment.
