NCLEX PN Practice Tests Practice Question
A client tells the RN she has decided to stop taking sertraline (Zoloft) because she doesn't like the nightmares, sex dreams, and obsessions she's experiencing since starting on the medication. What is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Abrupt withdrawal may occasionally cause serotonin syndrome, consisting of lethargy, nausea, headache, fever, sweating, and chills. A slow withdrawal may be prescribed with sertraline to avoid dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
