Answer 1

The statement that indicates that the client understands the teaching is "Paroxetine may experience initial loss of appetite, but it will go away overtime".

Paroxetine belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It treats depression and other mental illnesses by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain, a natural substance that aids in mental balance.

It's often used to treat depression, and sometimes obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Paroxetine helps many people recover from depression, and it has fewer unwanted effects than older antidepressants. Paroxetine is a prescription medication. Paroxetine usually takes four to six weeks to fully work. The term "responsibility" refers to the act of determining whether or not a person is responsible for his or her own actions.
