Question 1 of 5
A client who is prescribed lithium carbonate is being discharged from inpatient care. Which medication information should the nurse teach this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Do not reduce normal dietary sodium intake. This is because lithium excretion is influenced by sodium levels in the body. Reduced sodium levels can lead to increased reabsorption of lithium by the kidneys, potentially causing lithium toxicity. Checking serum lithium levels regularly (choice
A) is important but not as crucial as maintaining normal sodium intake. Adjusting the dose without healthcare provider guidance (choice
B) could be dangerous. Limiting fluid intake to a specific amount (choice
D) is not necessary unless advised by a healthcare provider.
