Answer to Question 1

B
Lithium is excreted via the kidneys. The other options are incorrect. The nursing implication is that individuals with renal damage should not be given lithium or should be monitored closely if lithium must be administered.

Answer to Question 2

A
Custodial care focuses on activities of daily living, hygiene, nutrition, elimination, and safety needs rather than supporting patients to develop skills for self-care. Staff members decide what is best for patients.
