A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client who is to undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for depression. Which of the following information should the nurse provide?

A. "The procedure will take about 2 hours.": A typical transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) session lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. The treatment is conducted on an outpatient basis, allowing clients to resume daily activities immediately afterward. B. "Most people only require one treatment to eliminate their depression.": TMS is typically administered in multiple sessions over several weeks. A full course usually consists of daily treatments for four to six weeks to achieve significant symptom improvement. C. "You may experience a mild headache following the procedure.": Mild headaches and scalp discomfort are common side effects of TMS due to repeated magnetic pulses stimulating the brain. These effects are generally temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter analgesics. D. "You will be asleep during the procedure.": TMS does not require sedation or anesthesia. Clients remain awake and alert during the procedure, as the treatment is noninvasive and does not cause significant discomfort requiring sedation.
