A nurse is caring for a client who asks the nurse, "May I please have your home address so that I can send you a note after I get home?" Which of the following responses should the nurse give?

A. A serum lithium level of 1.6 mEq/L is above the therapeutic range, indicating lithium toxicity. Manifestations of lithium toxicity can include neurological symptoms such as blurred vision and jerking motor movements. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, confusion, drowsiness, and muscle weakness.

B. Fever and fluctuating blood pressure are not typical manifestations of lithium toxicity.

C GI discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, is a common symptom of lithium toxicity. Poor coordination, along with tremors and muscle weakness, can also occur due to the effects of lithium on the central nervous system.

D. Lip smacking and tongue thrusting are repetitive and involuntary movements associated with certain types of seizures or seizure disorders, but they are not typically observed in lithium toxicity.

C. Codependency refers to a dysfunctional pattern of behavior in which a person excessively relies on another individual (often a partner or family member) for their sense of identity, self- worth, or emotional well-being. In this scenario, the partner's demand to see the client's records

and treatment plan, as well as the assertion of needing to oversee the treatment, suggests an excessive need for control and involvement in the client's life and healthcare decisions.

A. Manipulation involves influencing or controlling someone in a deceptive or dishonest way to achieve one's own goals.

B. Marginalization refers to the exclusion or relegation of a person or group to a lower or outer edge of society or a group.
