What is Tolvaptan: Indications and Nursing Care about?
Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin receptor antagonist used to treat hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia. It works by increasing water excretion in the urine, which helps raise serum sodium levels. Potential side effects include thirst, constipation, vomiting, and low blood pressure. Nurses are responsible for closely monitoring serum sodium and electrolyte levels, providing safety measures like fall precautions, and educating patients about reporting any adverse effects.
