Question

30. A depressed client is experiencing severe insomnia. The health care provider orders trazadone (Desyrel). The nurse tells the client to expect

A) Improvement of acne
B) Relief of insomnia
C) Reduced arthritic pain
D) Less nasal stuffiness

Answer 1

Trazodone is commonly prescribed to treat severe insomnia in depressed clients and is expected to relieve insomnia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trazodone (Desyrel) is commonly prescribed to treat severe insomnia in depressed clients.

The nurse tells the client to expect relief of insomnia as a result of taking trazodone. It is important to note that trazodone is primarily prescribed for its sedative effects, rather than its antidepressant effects.

It is not expected to improve acne, reduce arthritic pain, or relieve nasal stuffiness.
