A female client with mild depression reports to the nurse recently starting St. John's wort. Which information provided by the client requires further instruction?

St. John's wort reduces oral contraceptive efficacy by inducing liver enzymes, increasing pregnancy risk. Additional contraception is needed, requiring further instruction. Hard candy for dry mouth, insomnia, and sun sensitivity are accurate and do not need correction.
