A client with Bipolar disorder has a new prescription for Carbamazepine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Grapefruit juice affects carbamazepine metabolism and should be avoided. It can lead to increased levels of the medication, potentially causing toxicity. Monitoring carbamazepine blood levels and the complete blood count (CBC) is essential to ensure the medication's efficacy and safety. Carbamazepine can cause serious adverse effects like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, the client should promptly report any rash to the healthcare provider. Additionally, the client should be educated about potential central nervous system (CNS) side effects such as drowsiness or dizziness, and advised to avoid activities requiring alertness until these effects diminish.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Desmopressin is a medication used to reduce diuresis in clients with diabetes insipidus. To prevent water intoxication, clients should be advised to decrease fluid intake at the beginning of treatment. This instruction helps to balance fluid levels in the body and prevent potential complications associated with excessive fluid intake while on Desmopressin therapy. Monitoring for signs of fluid retention, such as weight gain, and adjusting fluid intake accordingly are essential components of client education when initiating treatment with Desmopressin.
