Ans: B
The client should not decrease dietary salt intake unless instructed to do so by the physician because it increases the risk of adverse effects due to lithium. The client should have blood levels monitored regularly. Do not alter the dosage or cease taking the prescribed drug. The client should maintain a high intake of fluids (810 glasses daily) unless contraindicated because of a physical condition.
