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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hyponatremia. When a client taking lithium starts a new exercise program, they may experience increased sweating, leading to loss of sodium. This can result in hyponatremia, as lithium can interfere with sodium levels. Hypocalcemia (
A), hypokalemia (
B), and hypomagnesemia (
D) are not typically associated with lithium use or exercise. Sodium imbalance is the most likely concern in this scenario.
