Delayed ejaculation is a known side effect of sertraline, so it is appropriate to inform the physician of this issue. The physician may choose to adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication. Option A is not an appropriate response as it is not related to the client's concern. Option B does not acknowledge the impact that the side effect is having on the client's quality of life. Option D may not be accurate, as delayed ejaculation may continue despite continued medication use.
