Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The confusion and disorientation that may accompany the immediate recovery period after ECT are temporary and resolve spontaneously. The client is unconscious during the procedure and is NPO for 8 hours prior. ECT is painless.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The prospect of beginning a regimen of ECT is likely to cause anxiety in a client. This likely supersedes the risks of decisional conflict, impaired mobility, or ineffective protection.
