Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has depression and a new prescription for amitriptyline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Take this medication at bedtime. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that can cause drowsiness and sedation, so taking it at bedtime can help minimize these side effects. It also helps improve adherence to the medication regimen.
Choice B is incorrect because it takes several weeks to see the full effects of amitriptyline, not within 24 hours.
Choice C is incorrect because tyramine restriction is typically associated with MAOIs, not tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline.
Choice D is incorrect because abruptly stopping amitriptyline can lead to withdrawal symptoms and a potential relapse of depression.
