Question 1 of 40 :

A client being treated for depression is started on a regimen of Fluoxetine (Prozac). She calls the clinic 10 days after the drug therapy has started to report that nothing has changed, and she wants to try a different drug. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate for the client?

A Encourage her to continue taking the drug as prescribed because it usually takes up to 4 weeks to see the full antidepressant effect.

B Tell the client to stop taking the drug for a few days to see whether she notices any difference in her mood.

C Tell the client to try taking St. John's wort, an over the counter herbal therapy used to treat depression, in order to get an increased antidepressant effect.
