Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for lithium carbonate. When reinforcing teaching with the client about ways to prevent lithium toxicity, the nurse should advise the client do which of the following?

A. Decrease fluid intake to less than 1500 mL daily B. Notify the provider if experiencing constipation as this may cause lithium toxicity C. Restrict the intake of foods rich in sodium D. Limit aerobic activity in hot weather

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Limit aerobic activity in hot weather. Lithium is a medication that can affect the body's ability to regulate temperature, leading to heat-related complications. By limiting aerobic activity in hot weather, the client can prevent overheating and potential lithium toxicity.

Choice A is incorrect because decreasing fluid intake can actually increase the risk of lithium toxicity as it affects lithium excretion.
Choice B is incorrect as constipation does not directly cause lithium toxicity.
Choice C is incorrect because restricting sodium intake is not a direct preventive measure for lithium toxicity.
