Question 1 of 5

A patient has been taking lithium for 1 year, and the most recent lithium level is 0.9 mEq/L. Which statement about the laboratory result is correct?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The lithium level is therapeutic. A lithium level of 0.9 mEq/L falls within the therapeutic range of 0.6-1.2 mEq/L for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. This range helps ensure the medication's effectiveness while minimizing the risk of toxicity. Option A is incorrect because the level is within the therapeutic range. Option C is incorrect as lithium levels are routinely monitored due to its narrow therapeutic window. Option D is incorrect as a level of 0.9 mEq/L is not considered too high.
