You will see more SSRIs used as a front-line drug of choice over the older tricyclics. Why?

Clients can more easily overdose with the tricyclics because of cardiac involvement.

Tricyclics have more sedating and anticholinergic effects than the SSRIs.

SSRIs work faster to achieve a therapeutic response than the tricyclics (days as opposed to 2 weeks).

Your client has been ordered phenelzine (Nardil). What special patient-family teaching do you need to address?

diet, use of other medications (over the counter ie cold meds), and blood pressure

lab draws for blood levels and diet

diet, exercise, and sexual activity

diet, exercise and lactation because weight gain is eminent

Sarah has bipolar illness and begins taking Lithium. In your teaching, what is important to cover?

the need for periodic blood levels because the therapeutic range is close to the mild toxicity range.

signs and symptoms of early toxicity verses side effects (weight gain is common)

the importance of taking the medicine and working with the doctor to find a comfortable therapeutic level – instead of self-stopping the medication.

Harry Potter is on the mental health unit because of hallucinations of Hogwarts, flying brooms and witches. He begins to become confused and disoriented, has decreasing loss of consciousness rapidly, holds himself stiff, and is very warm to touch. You take his vitals and he has high BP, and temperature of 103.2 F. What are you most concerned he has?
