Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has bipolar disorder and will be discharged with a prescription for lithium. The nurse should teach the client that which of the following factors puts her at risk for lithium toxicity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because physical activity and sweating can lead to dehydration, causing lithium levels to rise and potentially result in toxicity. Running 4 miles daily can increase the risk of dehydration and lithium toxicity.
Choices A and C are not risk factors for lithium toxicity, as adequate fluid intake and normal sodium levels are important for lithium excretion.
Choice D is irrelevant, as tyramine does not directly affect lithium levels.
