    A nurse is providing teaching to a client about the adverse effects of sertraline. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Excessive sweating is a common side effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), including sertraline. B. A metallic taste is more commonly associated with medications like certain antibiotics, not sertraline. C. A dry cough is not a known side effect of sertraline; this might be seen with ACE inhibitors, for example. D. Increased urinary frequency is not typically an adverse effect of sertraline.
