Question 1 of 5

A patient has been taking paroxetine (Paxil) 20 mg per day for 2 weeks and reports headaches, nervousness, and poor appetite. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reassure the patient that these side effects will decrease over time. Paroxetine is an antidepressant that commonly causes side effects such as headaches, nervousness, and poor appetite when first starting the medication. It is important for the nurse to educate the patient that these side effects are usually temporary and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the medication. Stopping the drug abruptly (choice
B) can lead to withdrawal symptoms and worsening of the patient's condition. Taking the medication with food (choice
C) may help with gastrointestinal side effects but will not address the reported symptoms. Discussing a lower dose with the provider (choice
D) may be considered if the side effects persist and are intolerable, but it is not the initial action to take in this scenario.
