A nurse is evaluating teaching for a client who has newly diagnosed depression and a new prescription for bupropion. Which of the following statements by the client indicates understanding of the teaching?

A. A slow heartbeat (bradycardia) is not a common side effect of bupropion. In fact, bupropion is less likely to cause heart-related side effects compared to other antidepressants. This statement is not correct. B. Increased salivation and drooling are not typical side effects of bupropion. This statement is incorrect. C. Bupropion can interact with alcohol and increase the risk of seizures, so drinking wine (or alcohol in general) is not recommended. The client should be advised to avoid alcohol or discuss it with their healthcare provider. D. This statement is correct. Antidepressants, including bupropion, generally take 1–2 weeks to show therapeutic effects, and it can take several weeks to notice improvements in mood. Therefore, it is important for the client to understand that it may take some time before they begin to feel better.
