Correct Answer:

Rationale:
Correct
Answer:


Rationale:
Blurred vision can indicate a potential worsening of the client's condition, as it may suggest neurological issues or medication side effects. Blood pressure can indicate potential improvement or worsening depending on the context. Urine amount and color are crucial indicators of renal function, so changes can indicate improvement or worsening. Lithium level monitoring is essential for clients on lithium therapy to prevent toxicity or ineffectiveness. Gait when ambulating is not provided in the choices, so it does not apply to this scenario.
