Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is taking lithium and reports starting a new exercise program. The nurse should assess the client for which of the following electrolyte imbalances?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hyponatremia. When a client is taking lithium and starts a new exercise program, there is an increased risk of developing hyponatremia due to excessive sweating and dehydration. Lithium can also impair the body's ability to regulate sodium levels. Assessing for hyponatremia is crucial as it can lead to serious complications such as confusion, seizures, and coma. Hypomagnesemia (
A), hypokalemia (
B), and hypocalcemia (
C) are not directly associated with lithium use or exercise.
Therefore, they are not the priority electrolyte imbalances to assess in this scenario.
