    A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a major depressive disorder and a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this medication?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Asthma is not a contraindication for bupropion. B. Bupropion is sometimes prescribed to assist with smoking cessation. Smoking is not a contraindication. C. Bupropion lowers the seizure threshold and is contraindicated in clients with a seizure disorder due to increased risk of seizures. D. A peanut allergy is not related to bupropion use unless the medication specifically contains that allergen, which it does not.
