A client with bipolar disorder is prescribed lithium. Which symptom indicates potential lithium toxicity?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Tremors. Lithium toxicity commonly presents with neurological symptoms such as tremors due to its effects on the central nervous system. Increased thirst (A) is a common side effect of lithium but not a sign of toxicity. Weight loss (C) and improved mood (D) are not indicative of lithium toxicity. It is important to monitor for tremors as an early sign of potential lithium toxicity to prevent serious complications.
