Since taking the antidepressant doxepin, the female client has been reporting a decrease in sexual desire. She tells the nurse she ├óÔé¼┼ôjust isn't that interested├óÔé¼┬Ø because she ├óÔé¼┼ôjust doesn't enjoy sex anymore.├óÔé¼┬Ø She and her partner agree that they miss the excitement they used to share. Which is the most helpful response by the nurse?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The most therapeutic response is to ask the client how she feels about contacting the HCP; switching to another antidepressant may be necessary if sexual dysfunction side effects become intolerable.
