ANS: D
Patients taking desmopressin should be taught to reduce fluid intake to avoid fluid overload, because this drug prevents continued fluid loss. Desmopressin metabolism is not affected by grapefruit juice. Increasing the sodium intake would only cause increased fluid retention. Desmopressin is a weak pressor agent and does not adversely affect hemodynamics, so monitoring blood pressure is not necessary.
