Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has major depressive disorder about what to expect when undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following information should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: You might feel a bit confused for a few hours after the procedure. This is correct because confusion is a common side effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) due to the temporary disruption of brain function. Clients may experience memory loss, disorientation, and confusion post-procedure.
Choice A is incorrect as voice changes are not typically associated with ECT.
Choice C is incorrect as clients usually wake up shortly after the procedure, not 30 minutes later.
Choice D is incorrect as pulsations in the neck are not a common side effect of ECT.
