Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C

Collaboration may include requesting a referral to a social worker who can provide expert guidance about coping with loss or assist with linking clients with additional resources. Bereavement groups can be a resource for clients who have experienced a loss. If pharmacologic interventions are appropriate, antidepressant medications may be prescribed. Although impaired sleep patterns may be associated with grieving, medications to promote sleep usually are not indicated for these clients. Psychotherapy may or may not be indicated for this client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The most common side effect of tricyclic antidepressants is orthostatic hypotension, due to alpha1 blockade on blood vessels. Orthostatic hypotension is not associated with the other medications.
