Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients with SIADH retain excess water and have low sodium levels. Watermelon has a high water content and would contribute to further fluid retention, making it a poor choice for a client with SIADH. Oatmeal, yogurt, and biscuits do not significantly impact fluid intake and can remain on the tray.
