		Identification and correction of the underlying cause
		Administration of hypertonic IV solution, such as 3% NS
		Administration of desmopressin
		Administration of intravenous fluid resuscitation

Answer 1

Ans) 13) Administration of hypertonic IV solution, such as 3% NS

Explaination:

- Most patients with diabetes insipidus (DI) can drink enough fluid to replace their urine losses. When oral intake is inadequate and hypernatremia is present, replace losses with dextrose and water or an intravenous (IV) fluid that is hypo-osmolar with respect to the patient's serum.
