Answer to Question 1

C
ECT is indicated for clients with severe long-lasting depression after attempts to stabilize with other therapies is unsuccessful. It is contraindicated in clients with recent heart disease, high or low blood pressure, stroke, or congestive heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
These are the typical roles of the caregiver in mental health services. The caregiver should avoid becoming friends with clients because this can cause strain on the professional relationship. The caregiver also should avoid becoming a confidante of the client because this term usually describes someone whom a person trusts with secret or private matters. This is not a role that the caregiver can play, given that caregivers have a responsibility to share with other team members information pertinent to the client's care.
