The nurse is caring for a client who has has been inhaling solvents to receive a "high." After the nurse provides education on the effects of inhaling solvents, which statement from the client indicates understanding of the teaching?

A. Elevate the head of the bed: Elevating the head of the bed is not the priority during a seizure. The primary concern is ensuring the client's safety by preventing injury.

B. Restrain the client's arms and legs: Restraining a client during a seizure is not advised, as it can cause injury. Instead, the focus should be on protecting the client from harm.

C. Place a tongue blade in the client's mouth: Placing anything in the client’s mouth during a seizure is contraindicated, as it can lead to airway obstruction or injury.

D. Take measures to prevent injury: The priority during a seizure is to protect the client from injury by ensuring a safe environment, such as padding the head and moving any dangerous objects away.

A. Instruct to resume regular activities such as driving. It is not safe to instruct the client to resume activities like driving immediately, especially at the beginning of lithium therapy, as lithium can cause side effects that may impair the client's ability to safely perform tasks such as driving.

B. Administer lithium before meals. Lithium is typically taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset. Administering it before meals may increase the risk of side effects like nausea.

C. Withhold if serum level is less than 1.5 mEq. Lithium should be withheld if the serum level is above the therapeutic range (typically 0.6–1.2 mEq/L), as higher levels can lead to toxicity. Withholding lithium if the level is less than 1.5 mEq/L is incorrect and could lead to inadequate treatment.

D. Instruct to avoid breastfeeding. Lithium is excreted in breast milk and can pose a risk to the infant, so the client should be advised against breastfeeding while on lithium therapy.
