Question 1 of 5
A nurse is completing an admission assessment for a client who has been taking St. John's wort. The nurse should identify that which of the following medications can interact with St. John's wort?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Citalopram. St. John's Wort is known to interact with many medications, including Citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). St. John's Wort can increase serotonin levels, leading to serotonin syndrome when taken with SSRIs like Citalopram. This interaction can cause symptoms such as confusion, fever, tremors, and high blood pressure. The other choices, Rifampin, Furosemide, and Allopurinol, do not have significant interactions with St. John's Wort. Rifampin is an antibiotic, Furosemide is a diuretic, and Allopurinol is used to treat gout and does not typically interact with St. John's Wort.
