单项选择题
The client is taking lithium (Lithobid). Which instruct should the nurse give to the client
A. Drink at least six to eight glasses of water per day and to avoid caffeine.
B. Limit the use of salt in his diet.
C. Discontinue medicine when feeling better.
D. Increase the amount of sodium in his diet.
答案
参考答案：A
解析：Caffeine should be avoided because it increases urine output. Clients need to maintain adequate fluid intake to avoid lithium toxicity. Clients should remain on medication even though they’re feeling better. Don’t limit or increase salt intake because the kidneys will hold onto lithium or excrete it if salt intake varies.
