Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for hot flashes in this client. The side effects experienced are those related to menopause. The client is likely to have amenorrhea and not menorrhagia. Depression rather than manic episodes is observed in such clients. The client is likely to have insomnia and not somnolence.

Answer to Question 2

C
