Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Antidepressant medications can cause orthostatic or postural hypotension, and the nurse will teach the patient the following: lie down, rest as able, and change positions slowly. Dangle at the side of the bed for 30 seconds or so. Operate heavy equipment and drive a car only with caution. Check and record your blood pressure, both sitting and standing, twice each day.
