Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immediately after an ECT procedure, it is common for clients to feel groggy and disoriented. Allowing the client to rest in bed is appropriate until the effects of the procedure wear off. Encouraging socialization or involving the client in physical activities may increase anxiety and disorientation. Parenteral nutrition may not be necessary at this time as the client's lack of hunger may be due to the aftereffects of the procedure.
