    Prior to administering the evening dose of carbamazepine, the nurse noted that the client’s morning carbamazepine level was 8.4 mg/L. Which action should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A carbamazepine level of 8.4 mg/L is within the therapeutic range of 4-12 mg/L. The nurse should administer the evening dose of carbamazepine as prescribed. The nurse should continue to monitor the client’s carbamazepine levels and assess for any side effects of the medication.
