A nurse is teaching a client who has major depressive disorder about electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Confusion after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a common short-term side effect. This typically resolves within a few hours after the procedure. B. ECT is not a cure for major depressive disorder, but it is a highly effective treatment for individuals who have not responded to other forms of treatment. C. ECT is performed under general anesthesia, and the client will not be awake or alert during the procedure. D. ECT does not stimulate the vagus nerve; rather, it involves electrical stimulation of the brain to induce a seizure, which has been shown to improve mood in individuals with severe depression.
