Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor for dry mouth or constipation. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly used to manage fibromyalgia. Dry mouth and constipation are common side effects of amitriptyline. Monitoring for these side effects is important as they can impact the client's quality of life and may require intervention. Option A is incorrect because amitriptyline is known to cause sedation, so taking it in the morning may not necessarily avoid sedation. Option C is incorrect because amitriptyline may take time to provide pain relief and immediate relief should not be expected. Option D is incorrect because discontinuing the medication abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms and should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
