Answer to Question 1

C
It is helpful to have the patient speak with another individual who has undergone ECT to alleviate anxiety. The motor seizure induced as part of the ECT treatment should last about 20 seconds but should not exceed 2 minutes to prevent a postictal state. Family members should be encouraged to come with the patient for at least the first few treatments but are not generally present during the actual treatment. Memory loss is temporary in most cases, and if it occurs it is usually related to the entire treatment.

Answer to Question 2

D
