Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a lithium level of 0.8 mEq/L. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the next dose of lithium. A lithium level of 0.8 mEq/L is within the therapeutic range (0.6-1.2 mEq/L), so the nurse should continue the medication as prescribed. Withholding the dose (choice
