Question 1 of 5
The client receives sertraline (Zoloft) and lithium. Which assessment data are most indicative of a potentially serious complication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fever and lack of muscular coordination. This combination could indicate serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious complication of sertraline and lithium interactions. Serotonin syndrome presents with symptoms such as fever, muscle rigidity, and lack of coordination, which can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly. Options B, C, and D are common side effects of sertraline and lithium but do not indicate a potentially serious complication like serotonin syndrome. Monitoring for fever and lack of muscular coordination is crucial in this case to prevent adverse outcomes.
