Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an acute care mental health facility is preparing to administer morning medication for a client who has been taking lithium for 2 weeks and has a current lithium level of 1.0 mEq/L. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the morning dose of lithium. At a lithium level of 1.0 mEq/L, it is within the therapeutic range (0.6-1.2 mEq/L) for the treatment of bipolar disorder.
Therefore, the nurse should continue with the prescribed medication regimen. Holding the medication (choice
D) without a valid reason could lead to potential relapse of the client's condition.

Choices A, B, and the rest are incorrect because there is no indication for gastric lavage as the lithium level is not extremely elevated, checking the medication record is unnecessary as the client's lithium level is within the therapeutic range, and holding the medication without a valid reason can be detrimental to the client's mental health treatment.
