Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has major depression and a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following adverse effects is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Confusion. Confusion is a serious adverse effect of citalopram that can indicate a rare but potentially life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by confusion, agitation, fever, sweating, tremors, and rapid heart rate. It is crucial to report confusion immediately to the provider to prevent further complications.
Weight loss (
A), bruxism (
B), and insomnia (
C) are common side effects of citalopram but are not as urgent or life-threatening as confusion.
