A 58 year old female made an appointment with a nurse practitioner to discuss a five month old history of worsening fatigue, muscle weakness, dry mouth that was causing her to miss work and her weekly swimming at the gym. In the prior two weeks she noticed that she was thirsty quite often and urinating frequently throughout the day. The clients only history was long cancer from which she has been in remission for six years. Lab results show sodium 160 MMOL per liter, potassium 3.9 MMOL per liter, glucose fasting 5.5 MMOL a liter, creatinine 161UMOL per liter, calcium adjusted 3.0 MMOL per liter, phosphate 0.79 MMOL per liter, glucose negative. Determine the disease that has developed in the client by examining the pattern of laboratory results. Also suggest an appropriate management strategy that could be implemented. Include post of physiology and Etiology and rule out any other illnesses. Include references.
