Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who has a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? What instructions should the nurse include for citalopram?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Report any suicidal thoughts. This is crucial because citalopram is an antidepressant that can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in the initial stages of treatment. Monitoring and reporting any such thoughts are essential for the patient's safety.
A: Take the medication in the morning - This is incorrect as citalopram can be taken at any time of the day, depending on individual preference and tolerability.
C: Avoid foods high in tyramine - This is incorrect as tyramine restriction is more relevant for MAOIs, not SSRIs like citalopram.
D: Take the medication with food - This is not a specific requirement for citalopram, as it can be taken with or without food.
