A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for sertraline to treat depression. For which of the following findings should the nurse instruct the client to monitor and report immediately as indicating serotonin syndrome?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Excessive sweating. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by excessive serotonin levels in the body. Excessive sweating is a common symptom of serotonin syndrome due to the overstimulation of serotonin receptors. This can lead to a dangerous increase in body temperature. Monitoring and reporting excessive sweating immediately is crucial to prevent serious complications.

B), and dry mouth (
C) are common side effects of sertraline but are not specific indicators of serotonin syndrome. While they should be monitored, they are not immediate red flags for serotonin syndrome. Excessive sweating (
