The client is going to be started on cholestyramine (Questran), 6 mg three times daily.
What instruction should the nurse provide to this client?

A. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is not typically targeted by antidepressants.

B. While some antidepressants may indirectly affect epinephrine and norepinephrine levels, the primary mechanism of action for most antidepressants is through increasing levels of serotonin and/or norepinephrine.

C. Antidepressants commonly work by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain.

D. The reticular formation is not directly involved in the mechanism of action of antidepressants.

A. Bile acid agents primarily work by binding to bile acids in the intestines, leading to increased excretion of bile acids and cholesterol, but they are not specifically indicated for reducing triglyceride levels.

B. Fibric acid agents, such as gemfibrozil and fenofibrate, are considered the drug of choice for decreasing triglyceride levels, primarily by increasing the breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles and reducing hepatic triglyceride production.

C. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) primarily lower LDL cholesterol levels but may also have modest effects on triglyceride levels.

D. Statins primarily target LDL cholesterol levels and are not considered the first-line therapy specifically for reducing triglyceride levels.
