Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a pamphlet about sertraline with a client who has post-traumatic stress disorder. Which of the following client statements indicates understanding of the information?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This medication can cause a dry cough.': A dry cough is not a common side effect of sertraline. 'I should call the provider if I experience excessive sweating and muscle twitching.' Excessive sweating and muscle twitching could indicate serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition associated with SSRIs like sertraline. Early recognition and prompt intervention are crucial. 'This medication can cause harmless, temporary changes to my ability to taste and smell.': Changes in taste or smell are not typical side effects of sertraline. This statement is incorrect and does not reflect the drug's known side effect profile. 'I need to decrease my sodium intake while on this medication.': Sodium intake is not typically affected by sertraline use. However, sertraline can cause hyponatremia in some cases, especially in older adults.
