Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse needs to make sure that any herbs the client may take are not harmful when taken in
conjunction with the prescribed antidepressants. Options A, B, and D are considered complementary
treatments and are of somewhat less concern because they do not involve harmful interactions
among ingested substances.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although all the questions might be appropriate to ask, only option 3 focuses on the client's eating
patterns. Option A focuses on distortions in body image. Option B is unrelated to eating pattern.
Option D explores the client's feelings about weight.
