Answer to Question 1

A, D, F, G
These are common characteristics of depression. Depression often is seen in the elderly, affecting as many as 40 of the elderly population, and it is not always severe. Depression occurs in a greater number of women than men.

Answer to Question 2

These are the primary responsibilities of the psychiatric social worker. The psychiatric nurse's primary responsibilities include assisting with the client's activities of daily living and managing individual, family, and group psychotherapy. The clinical psychologist is involved in the planning of treatment and diagnostic processes, and the psychiatrist is the leader of the team.
