Question 1 of 5
A client has been taking lithium for 1 year, and the most recent lithium level is 0.9 rnEq/L. Which statement about the laboratory result is correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The lithium level is therapeutic. A therapeutic lithium level typically ranges between 0.6 to 1.2 mEq/L. In this case, the client's level of 0.9 mEq/L falls within this therapeutic range, indicating that the dose of lithium is appropriate for this individual. Monitoring lithium levels is essential to ensure the medication's effectiveness and prevent toxicity.
Choices A and B are incorrect because the level is within the therapeutic range.
Choice D is incorrect as lithium levels are routinely monitored due to its narrow therapeutic index.
