Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Most antidepressant medications do not become effective or reach a therapeutic level for at least 2 or 3 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The client does not express anxiety, anger, or apathy. Instead, she has experienced a change from being an involved, interested mother to feeling as though she is a burden, which would be reflective of a disturbance of her self-concept. The self-concept changes she is experiencing are related to feelings of worthlessness brought on by the depressive episode.
