A client diagnosed with narcolepsy, sleepwalking, and cataplexy is prescribed a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Which explanation regarding this medication is the most accurate?
1. It lowers levels of serotonin, thereby increasing serotonin and elevating energy levels.
2. It helps with sleepwalking because the increase in serotonin allows the client a deeper sleep.
3. It decreased sleepiness, as SSRIs are stimulants, which will help the client maintain wakefulness.
4. It decreased episodes of slurred speech, sagging of the jaw, and head nodding.
