"I will use my cromolyn inhaler before using my albuterol inhaler."
When both cromolyn and albuterol are prescribed, albuterol should be inhaled first to open
the airways because it is a bronchodilator. After waiting a few minutes, the cromolyn can
then be inhaled and will reach further into the lungs because of the dilatory effects of
albuterol. -

0.75 mEq/L
Lithium is a mood-stabilizing medication used in the treatment of bipolar I acute and
recurrent manic and depressive episodes. To achieve a therapeutic range, give 300 mg to
600 mg of lithium during the active phase. The therapeutic serum lithium level is between
0.8 mEq/L and 1.4 mEq/L. Maintenance levels of 0.4 to 1.3 mEq/L are then achieved for
clients who are prescribed lithium for long-term therapy. Because small increments of
dosage separate therapeutic, maintenance, and toxic levels of lithium, knowledge of these
levels is essential to ensure safe, quality care. This serum lithium level indicates the client's
dosage is appropriate for maintenance therapy. -
