What is Lithium Nursing Responsibilities Overview about?

Carbolith is a lithium drug used to treat manic episodes of bipolar disorder and maintain treatment to prevent future episodes. It works by altering sodium transport in nerve and muscle cells and inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine. Common side effects include lethargy, nausea, vomiting, and increased urination. It is important to monitor lithium levels and kidney and heart function in patients due to risks of toxicity.
