Hypertension

Fluid retention

Elevated blood glucose

Increased urine output

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A Reason: Hypertension is not a common finding in diabetes insipidus, but it may indicate increased intracranial pressure or other complications.

Choice B Reason: Fluid retention is not a common finding in diabetes insipidus, but it may indicate syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) or heart failure.

Choice C Reason: Elevated blood glucose is not a common finding in diabetes insipidus, but it may indicate diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.

Choice D Reason: Increased urine output is a common finding in diabetes insipidus, as the lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the kidneys to excrete large amounts of diluted urine.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A Reason: N0 does not indicate presence of regional lymph node involvement, but absence of it. N1 to N3 indicate increasing degrees of regional lymph node involvement.

Choice B Reason: TIS does not indicate that a tumor has been resolved, but that it is in situ, meaning that it is confined to the original site and has not invaded deeper tissues.

Choice C Reason: T4 does not indicate a tumor at its smallest size, but at its largest size. T1 to T4 indicate increasing sizes or extents of the primary tumor.

Choice D Reason: M1 indicates tumor metastasis to a single site, meaning that the cancer has spread to another organ or distant lymph node. M0 indicates no distant metastasis.

A. Increased pain B. Continuous swallowing C. Poor fluid intake D. Drooling

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A Reason: Increased pain is not a specific sign of hemorrhage, but it may indicate inflammation, infection, or nerve damage.

Choice B Reason: Continuous swallowing is a sign of hemorrhage, as it indicates that blood is accumulating in the throat or esophagus and stimulating the swallowing reflex.

Choice C Reason: Poor fluid intake is not a sign of hemorrhage, but it may indicate difficulty swallowing, nausea, or dehydration.

Choice D Reason: Drooling is not a sign of hemorrhage, but it may indicate impaired oral control, salivary gland damage, or infection.
