Stacy weighs 300 lb, and she has been trying to lose weight for the past 5 years. She has attempted

Stacy weighs 300 lb, and she has been trying to lose weight for the past 5 years. She has attempted numerous short-lived diets, as well as vigorous exercise. Over these years, she has been able to lose between 50 and 125 lb and has, within the next 6 months, gained the weight back. She comes to the weight loss clinic today to attempt weight loss again. In addition to a diet of 1200 calories per day, she will begin to take the drug phentermine (Ionamin). She has many questions.

1.   Stacy asks the nurse, “How effective will this medication be in helping me lose weight?” How will the nurse respond?

2.   Stacy is worried about experiencing side effects. What information will the nurse provide Stacy about potential side effects?

3.   Finally, Stacy asks if phentermine has any interactions with other drugs. How will the nurse respond?
