1. Monitor for peak and trough for toxicity. 2. Check the health care provider’s orders for periodic lab draws. 3. Contact the health care provider if serum concentration is not within therapeutic range. 4. Check that this drug is prescribed with short intervals between doses. 5. Assess client for reduced cognitive function or confusion.
