Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled to receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: You may experience muscle cramping from the induced seizure.' While muscle stiffness is possible, the term 'muscle cramping' might not accurately describe the postictal state after ECT. 'The most common adverse effects of ECT are related to anesthesia.' While anesthesia is used during ECT, the most common adverse effects are related to the ECT procedure itself, such as confusion, memory loss, and headache. 'You should expect to have ECT once per week for 6 weeks.' The frequency and duration of ECT treatments vary based on the individual's response and treatment plan. This statement provides a specific schedule that may not apply to all patients. 'You might feel a bit confused and disoriented when you first wake up.' This statement accurately reflects a common and expected postictal effect of ECT. Patients undergoing ECT commonly experience confusion and disorientation upon awakening. This is a temporary and expected side effect of the treatment. It's important for the patient to be aware of this possibility as part of the informed consent process.
