A client is to receive three treatments of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) per week for 3 weeks. After the third treatment, the client is forgetful and confused.
 
  When the client's husband arrives to take her home, the nurse discusses his wife's condition with him. Which of the following statements is most appropriate?
  A) Some confusion after ECT is normal. She will regain her memory in a few hours.
  B) Confusion after ECT is not expected. Though it will resolve, she probably will not be a candidate for ECT in the future.
  C) Some people experience mild confusion after ECT. Generally it clears in a few days, though it may take longer.
  D) Some confusion after ECT is normal. Withhold her medications for today and call tomorrow to let us know how she's doing.
