Answer to Question 2

A, C

a. Correct. This statement is not true. Elders who have endured the horrors of the midtwen-tieth century (e.g., the Depression, the Holocaust, and World War II) are as prone to de-pression as other elders, but they can consider it shameful to acknowledge depressive feelings.
b. Incorrect. This is a true statement. The patient can complain because of having no positive feelings, or the patient may not bother complaining because of having no hope.
c. Correct. This statement is not true. Serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, usually the drug of choice for depression, can be unsuitable for a specific individual. Most antidepressant me-dications take 6 weeks to resolve symptoms completely.
d. Incorrect. This is a true statement. The nurse should not deny the patient's depressed feel-ings or grief.
