By:
A 39-year-old male patient presents asking for pharmacotherapy to help with difficulty falling asleep. He denies any psychiatric history and is in good health. He is currently struggling with sleep because he is going through a difficult divorce and while he acknowledges that he has to work through it, the difficulty sleeping is so profound right now that it is making it difficult for him to be effective at work. The patient agrees to have an evaluation with a therapist, and the PMHNP agrees to short-term pharmacotherapy with trazodone.
What is the most important aspect of patient education for this patient?
A. He must be advised of the risk of priapism and what to do if it occurs
B. He must be advised that this is only a time-limited intervention and he cannot rely on medication-induced sleep indefinitely.
C. He must be advised that this should be taken on an empty stomach; if taken with food absorption is markedly delayed.
D. He must be advised that there may be some early morning fatigue that would also contribute to not feeling well rested.
