Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Blockage of acetylcholine (ACh) leads to the predominant side effects of TCAs: sedation, dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, delayed micturition, dizziness, and fainting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
In cases in which clients are struggling with mental illness, the difficulty for families in accessing information to help their loved ones can be challenging, frustrating, and time consuming. This iatrogenic burden is sometimes created by current confidentiality laws. None of the other listed scenarios is an example of an iatrogenic burden for family members.
