Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

The client should maintain a normal fluid intake while taking lithium, not limit it to 800 ounces per day.

Choice B rationale:

Lithium can be taken with or without food. This instruction is not necessary.

Choice C rationale:

It can indeed take up to 3 weeks to see the full effects of lithium. This is a correct instruction.

Choice D rationale:

The client should maintain a normal sodium diet while taking lithium, not a low-sodium diet.

So, the correct answer is C, after analyzing all choices.
