Question 1 of 5
Patient education for the patient started on a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor would include:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because patient education on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors should include information on common adverse effects. Sexual dysfunction is a well-documented side effect of SSRIs, affecting many patients. Understanding this potential side effect can help patients make informed decisions about their treatment and seek appropriate support if needed.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to SSRIs. Avoiding tyramine-containing foods is more relevant for MAOIs, signs and symptoms of hypertension are not typically associated with SSRIs, and tremors are not a common side effect of SSRIs.
