Answer to Question 1

C
As tricyclics decrease the depression, energy returns and suicidal attempts may occur.

Answer to Question 2

D
Serous drainage has the appearance of clear, watery plasma. Purulent drainage has the appearance of thick, yellow, green, tan, or brown drainage. Sanguineous drainage is bright red and indicates active bleeding. Serosanguineous drainage is pale, red, and watery and is a mixture of serous and sanguineous drainage.
