Question 1 of 5
A client has just begun therapy with lithium (Eskalith). The nurse notices the serum level of lithium for this client is 1.3 mEq/L. What is the normal range of lithium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (0.6-1.5 mEq/L) because the therapeutic range for lithium is typically between 0.6-1.2 mEq/L. A serum level of 1.3 mEq/L falls within this range, indicating the client is within the therapeutic level. Answer A (3.0-4.5 mEq/L) is incorrect as it exceeds the toxic range for lithium. Answer C (0.1-0.6 mEq/L) is too low and falls below the therapeutic range. Answer D (1.5-3.0 mEq/L) is also incorrect as it is above the therapeutic range.
