The nurse has received a new prescription for the client to begin taking sertraline. Prior to administering the initial dose of sertraline, it is most important for the nurse to obtain which information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obtaining a thorough medication history is essential to identify potential drug interactions, allergies, or contraindications for sertraline. Heart disease history is relevant but less critical. Familial mental illness history is not immediately necessary. Weight does not typically affect sertraline dosing.
