Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder and a new prescription for valproate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client about the use of this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Liver function tests must be monitored. Valproate can cause liver damage, so monitoring liver function tests is essential to detect any signs of hepatotoxicity. This is a crucial safety measure to ensure the client's well-being.
Choice A is incorrect because valproate does not require EEG monitoring.
Choice B is incorrect as high serum sodium levels are not directly related to valproate toxicity.
Choice C is incorrect as valproate does not affect thyroid function.
Therefore, the focus should be on monitoring liver function tests to prevent potential liver damage.
