Question 1 of 5

A patient with a history of bipolar I disorder is prescribed fluoxetine (Prozac) for a depressive episode. What is the nurse's priority action?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor the patient closely for signs of mania. Fluoxetine, an antidepressant, can potentially trigger manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. Monitoring for signs of mania is crucial to prevent worsening of symptoms and ensure timely intervention. Option A is not the priority as gastrointestinal side effects are common but less urgent. Option C is assuming the medication is safe without considering the patient's specific condition. Option D is important but not the priority.
