A client with a history of smoking cigarettes for many years arrives to the clinic and expresses a desire to stop smoking. The client receives a prescription for bupropion to reduce nicotine cravings. Which information should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?

Bupropion is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and its common side effects include insomnia and decreased appetite, which can lead to weight loss; informing the client prepares them for these expected effects and promotes adherence. A tyramine-free diet (A) is necessary with MAO inhibitors, not bupropion. Changes in taste (C) are not a typical or concerning side effect of this medication. While hydration is generally good practice, there is no specific requirement to take bupropion with a large volume of water (D).
