Question 1 of 5
Prior to administering the evening dose of carbamazepine, the nurse notes that the client's morning carbamazepine level was 8.4 mg/L (35.6 mcmol/L). Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Carbamazepine’s therapeutic range is 4-12 mg/L; 8.4 mg/L (
B) is therapeutic, so administer as prescribed (matches 55-Q23, but 55-Q23 had 84 mg/L, likely a typo). Notifying (
A) or withholding (
D) is unnecessary. Assessing side effects (
C) is routine but not specific.
