Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The desired outcome of administering Lasix in a client with SIADH is to increase urine output, as this helps to eliminate excess water and reduce serum sodium levels. Lasix is a diuretic medication that inhibits sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, which results in an increased volume of urine output. Therefore, the best choice is D, an increase in urine output. A decrease in serum potassium (A) is not a desired outcome of Lasix administration, and a decrease in serum osmolality (C) may not be the immediate goal for treating SIADH. Additionally, an increase in blood pressure (B) is not a desired outcome for a client with SIADH, as this condition is often associated with hyponatremia and low blood pressure.
