    Today’s video is all about bipolar medications for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.
    Bipolar medications can be tricky to manage. If you're not careful, they can make the patient's symptoms worse.
    The most common bipolar drugs include Carbamazepine, Valproic Acid, and Lithium - and they’ve been shown to help many people manage their symptoms of bipolar disorder effectively.
    However, these are not miracle drugs either! Watch to learn nursing interventions for patients taking (or possibly needing to take) bipolar medications.

      You sound like you’ll be really good at killing people with these NEUROTOXIC psych drugs if and when you become licensed to prescribe them……DUDE. I would love to be your patient. There’s just something about the way you express yourself that I find so reassuring in terms of your ostensible high “intelligence quotient” and your potential nursing competence when and if you receive your nursing license…….DUDE. I’m sure I’d love to put my brain and body in the hands of a brilliant health care provider such as yourself.

    Nurse Mike.
    It’s mentioned to report “ excessive thirst “
    Expected symptoms with lithium include thirst which in the video says not to be reported .
    So as long as it’s some crazy thirst that’s when we go ahead and report to hcp ?

    • @Minsajang
      @Minsajang 28 днів тому

      Its more to report excessive urination, thirst may be an indicator that pt is dehydrated; however, dont want to read too much into question if its asking to report as a priority question. Id agree if the question is select all that apply

  • @emilyfeldman3197
    @emilyfeldman3197 2 роки тому +2

    What if the question was asking about which sign/symptom is most concerning regarding lithium?
    - diarrhea
    -dizziness
    -nausea
    Before watching this video, I would have picked dizziness because it's a safety concern but now I am wondering if the most concerning sign is diarrhea since that dehydrates you and can lead to lithium toxicity. I take my NCLEX next week and hoping for some clarification! Thank you!

    • @MakerBayfield
      @MakerBayfield 2 роки тому

      Hi! Sorry for a late response but I agree with the diarrhea since it can lead to dehydration as well as hyponatremia: two BIG factors that leave the patient at risk for toxicity
      Side note: I dont believe dizziness is a long lasting side effect of lithium, so even though out of those three options it is a bigger safety concern, in this scenario its not really relevant.
      Hope that helps, and hope you did well on your NCLEX!
