    Ati nurs 541 mental health proctored exam

    A client diagnosed with depression begins SSRI antidepressant therapy. What information should the nurse provide to the client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: SSRIs do not typically cause photosensitivity. Sunlight precautions are not standard for this class. Choice B reason: Sodium restriction is not applicable to SSRIs. It is relevant for lithium therapy. Choice C reason: Tyramine-free diets are required for MAOIs, not SSRIs. Choice D reason: Suicidal ideation may increase during the initial weeks of SSRI therapy. Prompt reporting is essential for safety.
