[Answered]: The nurse is reviewing a client’s medication history

The nurse is reviewing a client’s medication history. The client was on escitalopram for three years but was recently switched to venlafaxine because of worsening depression. Which statement shows the nurse’s understanding of this medication? The client may have more side effects due to the increase in dopamine levels. Venlafaxine will increase serotonin and norepinephrine levels, which may improve depression symptoms. Venlafaxine decreases serotonin levels, which may help with depression symptoms. The client will likely have fewer side effects because venlafaxine only increases serotonin levels.
