Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Diarrhea can precipitate dehydration, which is a common cause of lithium toxicity. Responses B and C are not indicators of high risk behaviors for toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Physical activity to discharge pent-up energy can be useful. The other activities are sedentary and require concentration, which would be difficult for the manic patient.
