A client diagnosed with depression is prescribed duloxetine. Which statement made by the client would allow the nurse to assess that the medication teaching has been effective?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because abruptly stopping duloxetine can lead to withdrawal symptoms. This statement indicates understanding of the importance of adherence and the potential risks of discontinuing the medication abruptly. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because duloxetine can interact with herbal supplements, does not require avoiding aged cheese, and should not be taken in extra doses for anxiety.
