Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has been taking sertraline for 2 weeks. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an indication that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. An increase in mood is an indication that the sertraline medication is effective as it is commonly prescribed to treat depression. Improvement in mood is a key therapeutic outcome for antidepressants like sertraline. The other options are incorrect because:
A) Blood pressure and leg swelling are not directly related to the effectiveness of sertraline;
B) Leg swelling is not a common side effect of sertraline;
C) Weight loss is not a typical indicator of sertraline effectiveness, and in fact, some patients may experience weight gain as a side effect of the medication.
