Ati nurs 541 mental health proctored exam
A client diagnosed with a depressive disorder begins SSRI antidepressant therapy. What information should the nurse provide to the client and family?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A reason: Sunlight exposure may help with seasonal affective disorder but is not a standard precaution or requirement for SSRI therapy. Choice B reason: Sodium intake is not a concern with SSRIs. This is more relevant to lithium therapy. Choice C reason: Tyramine restrictions apply to MAOIs, not SSRIs. Choice D reason: Reporting increased suicidal thoughts is critical. SSRIs can increase suicidal ideation early in treatment, especially in younger populations.
