Answer to Question 1

A
Autonomous psychiatric nursing role actions include inviting a client to sit in the dayroom with other clients. These actions are the ones that the nurse can implement independently. Secluding or restraining a combative client or administering medications are dependent nursing actions because there must be an order from the physician. Leading a treatment team meeting is an interdependent action because it involves other health providers. Both dependent and interdependent actions require the nurse to implement collaborative nursing role actions.

Answer to Question 2

C
At this time, only paroxetine (Paxil) has demonstrated positive evidence of risk during pregnancy. All other SSRIs are category C agents (risk during pregnancy cannot be ruled out).
