Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with major depressive disorder who has a new prescription for fluoxetine. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I may experience increased thoughts of suicide at the beginning of treatment." This statement indicates an understanding of the medication because fluoxetine, an SSRI, can initially increase suicidal ideation in clients with major depressive disorder due to sudden improvement in energy levels before mood improvement. This is important for the client to know for safety monitoring.


Choice A is incorrect as improvement in mood may take several weeks, not days.
Choice C is incorrect as avoiding tyramine-rich foods is relevant for MAOIs, not SSRIs like fluoxetine.
Choice D is incorrect as lithium levels are monitored for clients taking lithium, not fluoxetine.
