Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To correct the problem of decreasing blood sodium levels, the hormone that should be administered is aldosterone. Aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which helps to increase blood sodium levels. The other hormones listed (cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and antidiuretic hormone) do not have a significant effect on sodium reabsorption in the kidneys.
