A. Visual disturbances are not a common side effect of ECT. The more typical side effects of ECT include temporary memory loss, confusion, or headache. The patient should be informed about these potential side effects, but visual disturbances are not specifically associated with ECT.
B. Hydration is important for overall health, but it is not a specific requirement for ECT preparation. The primary preparation involves fasting, as patients are usually required to fast for several hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of aspiration during the treatment, as ECT is performed under anesthesia.
C. Incontinence is not a typical concern with ECT. The procedure itself does not usually result in incontinence. The focus should be more on preparing for potential side effects like temporary confusion
or memory issues, rather than concerns about incontinence. Therefore, this advice is not relevant for ECT preparation.
D. ECT involves the use of anesthesia, and patients should not drive themselves to or from the appointment due to the effects of anesthesia and the potential for temporary disorientation. Arranging for transportation ensures the patient’s safety and compliance with post-treatment care instructions.

C. Social difficulties, such as bullying or isolation, can increase the risk of suicide, but they often coexist with underlying mental health conditions.
D. While chronic physical illnesses can impact mental health and overall well-being, acute physical problems are less likely to be direct precursors to suicide.
