Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for paroxetine. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Drowsiness. Paroxetine is an antidepressant medication that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Drowsiness is a common side effect of SSRIs, including paroxetine. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for drowsiness because it can affect their daily activities and safety. Alopecia (choice
A), peripheral edema (choice
B), and tinnitus (choice
C) are not common adverse effects associated with paroxetine.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on educating the client about monitoring for drowsiness specifically.
