Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and has been taking lithium for 1 year. Before administering the medication, the nurse should check to see that which of the following tests have been completed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Thyroid hormone assay. This is essential because lithium can cause hypothyroidism as a side effect, leading to symptoms such as fatigue and weight gain. Monitoring thyroid hormone levels helps detect and manage this potential complication. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (
A) is not relevant to lithium therapy. Brain natriuretic peptide (
B) is used to assess heart failure, not related to lithium. Liver function tests (
C) are not directly impacted by lithium. Thus, the most critical test to monitor for lithium therapy is the thyroid hormone assay.
