Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to teach a client about his prescription of lithium for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: You will need your blood levels drawn weekly during the first month. This is crucial because lithium has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning that blood levels need to be closely monitored to ensure efficacy and prevent toxicity. Regular monitoring helps adjust the dosage to maintain the therapeutic range. Option A is incorrect because lithium is usually taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Option B is incorrect as stopping lithium abruptly can lead to a relapse of bipolar symptoms. Option C is incorrect as there is no specific requirement for a low-salt diet with lithium.
