Question 1 of 5

. A nurse is assisting with the care for a newly admitted client who has major depressive disorder. Select 1 condition and 1 client finding to fill in the following sentence (Separate using a comma). The client is at risk for developing ___ due to the Client's intake of ___

Correct Answer: C,B

Rationale: The client is at risk for developing Serotonin syndrome due to the Client's intake of St. John's wort. St. John's wort is an herbal supplement that can interact with certain medications, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other medications that increase serotonin levels. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an excess of serotonin in the body. In the given scenario, the nurse should identify: Condition: The client's intake of St. John's wort; Client Finding: At risk for developing serotonin syndrome. This is because the use of St. John's wort, combined with medications that affect serotonin levels, increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. The nurse should monitor for symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as changes in vital signs, hyperthermia, altered mental status, and neuromuscular abnormalities. If serotonin syndrome is suspected, medical attention should be sought promptly.
