What is the typical goal for correcting hyponatremia?

  1. 2-4 mEq/L/24 hours

  2. 4-8 mEq/L/24 hours

  3. 10-12 mEq/L/24 hours

  4. 15-20 mEq/L/24 hours

The correct answer is: 4-8 mEq/L/24 hours

Correcting hyponatremia involves increasing the levels of sodium in the body, so the typical goal is to raise the levels by 4-8 mEq/L in a 24-hour period. Option A may be too conservative as it only suggests a slight increase, while option C and D are too aggressive and may cause a rapid and potentially dangerous increase in sodium levels. It is important to correct hyponatremia at a safe and gradual pace to avoid complications. Therefore, the most appropriate and common goal is option B.
