Question 1 of 5
An antidepressant medication is prescribed for a client who reports sleeping only 4 hours in the past 2 days and weight loss of 9 lbs within the last month. Which client goal is most important to achieve within the first three days of treatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sleep at least 6 hours a night. Adequate sleep is crucial in the management of depression as it can improve mood, cognition, and overall functioning. Lack of sleep can exacerbate depressive symptoms. Addressing sleep disturbance early can lead to an improvement in the client's overall well-being. Meeting with a dietitian (choice
A) may be important for addressing weight loss but is not as urgent as improving sleep. Understanding the purpose of the medication regimen (choice
C) is important for long-term treatment adherence but may not be the priority within the first three days. Describing the reasons for hospitalization (choice
D) is not directly related to the immediate treatment goal of addressing sleep disturbance.
