Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The duty to warn a person whose life has been threatened by a psychiatric client overrides the
client's right to confidentiality. The right to confidentiality is not suspended at the discretion of the
therapist or for legal investigations.

Answer to Question 2

D
Mirtazapine, an atypical antidepressant that blocks serotonin, is an a2 adenoreceptor antagonist that
blocks histamine, thus enhancing both nonadrenergic and serotonergic transmitters. It is often
effective in restoring SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. The other options reflect incorrect
information.
