Answer to Question 1

A
The ANA Standards of Psychiatric-Mental Health Clinical Nursing Practice explicitly prohibits intimate or sexual relationships with present or former clients. Sexual liaisons between therapist and client are prohibited by statute in a number of states. Violation of such statutes may result in loss or suspension of one's professional license.

C
The indicators for a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder in a client include feelings of sadness, guilt, insomnia, weight loss, or any combination of these following a myocardial infarction. Such symptoms cannot solely be explained by the physiologic after-effects of the myocardial infarction.
