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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Confusion. Confusion can indicate a serious side effect like serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur with citalopram. Weight loss is a common side effect and may not be a priority. Bruxism and insomnia are known side effects but are not typically considered urgent. It is crucial to address confusion promptly to prevent further complications.
