Answer to Question 1

C
Clinical advancement programs allow the nurse to be promoted and economically rewarded for providing direct patient care. Such programs identify levels of professional development in nursing based on increased critical thinking and advanced application of nursing skills.

Answer to Question 2

B
Providers base the prescription of a cyclic antidepressant on the amount of sedation, anxiety reduction, or psychostimulation desired. Concern must also be given to choosing medication in an effort to minimize side effects. The provider normally starts with a low initial dosage prescription. Over a period of 1 to 4 weeks, the dosage is increased gradually, until there is clinical improvement for the client.
