Question

The nurse is obtaining data regarding the medication that the client is taking on a regular basis. the client states he is taking duloxetine (cymbalta), an antidepressant for the treatment of neuropathic pain. what type of therapy does the nurse understand the client is receiving?

Answer 1

He is taking an antidepressant so he is probably seeing a counselor or psychiatrist for the medication control.  The pain is real not in his head so his primary doctor may also be managing the medication.  He is probably receiving psychotherapy.
