Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although all options are possibilities, this woman has several risk factors for being a victim of intimate partner abuse (unplanned pregnancy, victim of child abuse, marital instability). The nurse should first assess for this (intimate partner abuse) before considering the other situations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pamelor is a tricyclic antidepressant. Prozac and Zoloft are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Effexor is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
