The psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner considers prescribing valproic acid for a patient with history of seizures and cycles through mania and depression. She is hesitant though because the patient is a :
a. 48-year-old male with recent labs indicating stable renal and liver function, but slightly elevated TSH.
b. 19-year-old female with a Nexplanon.
c. 24-year-old female not currently taking any form of birth control because she is not currently sexually active.
d. 42-year-old male with irritability and aggressive behavior.
