ATI NURS 4850 Mental Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been hospitalized for treatment of bipolar disorder and will be discharged with a prescription for lithium. The nurse's discharge teaching should include information cautioning against which of the following factors that may cause lithium toxicity?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Experiencing diarrhea. Lithium toxicity can occur when there is a decrease in fluid and sodium levels in the body, as seen in diarrhea. This can lead to an increase in lithium concentration in the blood, potentially causing toxicity. The other options are not directly related to lithium toxicity. Drinking green tea, exercising moderately, and increasing sodium intake do not typically result in lithium toxicity. In fact, increasing sodium intake can sometimes be recommended to help maintain lithium levels within the therapeutic range. It is essential for the nurse to emphasize the importance of monitoring for signs of dehydration and maintaining a consistent fluid and sodium intake while taking lithium to prevent toxicity.
