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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Drowsiness. Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. Drowsiness is a common side effect of SSRIs, including paroxetine. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for this adverse effect as it can affect their daily activities and may improve over time. Alopecia (
A), peripheral edema (
C), and tinnitus (
D) are not typical adverse effects of paroxetine. Alopecia is more commonly associated with chemotherapy drugs, peripheral edema is more common with calcium channel blockers, and tinnitus is not a common side effect of SSRIs.
