Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Antidepressants, such as doxepin, that cause anticholinergic-like symptoms are contraindicated if the patient has glaucoma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) cause nervousness and insomnia. Patients can minimize these effects by taking the drug in the morning. The nurse should assess this with this patient. Taking the medication at bedtime will only increase the insomnia. Requesting a lower dose or changing to weekly dosing are not recommended.
