Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has major depressive disorder about electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "You might experience confusion for a few hours after treatment." ECT can cause confusion post-treatment due to the anesthesia and the impact on brain function.
Choice B is incorrect as ECT is not a cure but a treatment option.
Choice C is incorrect as the client is usually under anesthesia during ECT.
Choice D is incorrect as ECT does not directly stimulate the vagus nerve. It is crucial for the nurse to inform the client about potential side effects like confusion to ensure informed consent and alleviate any post-treatment concerns.
