The client worries that her antidepressant medications are not working. She has been taking them for 3 days now and feels no change. The nurse's best response to her is,
 
  1. You really don't need these medications to control yourself.
  2. Many antidepressant medications are not effective with some people.
  3. Many antidepressant medications take 1 to 4 weeks before the effects are noticed.
  4. Many antidepressant medications take 1 to 2 months before the effects are no-ticed.

Answer to Question 1

3
Antidepressants need 1-4 weeks before therapeutic blood levels are reached.

Answer to Question 2

B
Flooding introduces a phobic patient to the feared stimulus in increasingly large doses, and response prevention requires a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder to avoid performing the ritual that relieves anxiety. Both cause an initial rise in anxiety before the anxiety level is reduced. Relaxation training, meditation, and anxiolytics reduce anxiety without an initial anxiety increase. Modeling coping responses and cognitive restructuring are implemented in a nonthreatening way and do not usually increase anxiety significantly.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
