Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Desmopressin is a potent vasoconstrictor, not a vasodilator, and can cause blood pressure to rise, not fall.
Rationale 2: Desmopressin promotes water retention; blood pressure can rise, not fall.
Rationale 3: Desmopressin is the same as ADH (antidiuretic hormone), and acts on the collecting ducts in the kidney to increase water reabsorption.
Rationale 4: Desmopressin does not suppress hormone secretion from the posterior pituitary gland.
