Answer to Question 1

B
Some evidence indicates that suicidal ideation may worsen at the beginning of SSRI antidepressant therapy, so close monitoring is necessary, and the patient and family should be directed to report immediately any intensification in suicidal ideation, intent, or plans. SSRI medications do not increase photosensitivity or require dietary tyramine or sodium restrictions.

Answer to Question 2

2
Your ability to care for clients depends on how well you care for yourself.
