Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If the patient has not arranged for adequate transportation to and from the appointment, the treatment will be canceled because driving after ECT is dangerous. The patient is typically NPO before the procedure. Incontinence and visual disturbances are not common following the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The sick role allows the patient to be excused from everyday responsibilities.
