Feedback:
When taking a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, the nurse must instruct on the most common side effect, which is sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, sexual dysfunction (reduced desire for sex, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, and the inability to orgasm) is a frequent and undesirable side effect that leads to noncompliance in medication regimen.
