Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing discharge instructions with a client who has bipolar disorder and is taking lithium. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include as an indication of mild toxicity?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Muscle weakness. Mild lithium toxicity can present with early signs like muscle weakness due to its effects on neuromuscular function. This can progress to more severe symptoms if left untreated.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not typical manifestations of mild lithium toxicity. Constipation and urinary retention are more commonly seen in anticholinergic toxicity, while hyperactivity is not a common symptom of lithium toxicity.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on recognizing and addressing muscle weakness as an early indication of mild lithium toxicity.
