Answer to Question 1

B, C
Autonomy has two interrelated components: (1) control over nursing tasks, which means having the opportunity for independent thought and action, having use of time, skills, and ability, having authority and responsibility for implementing goals related to quality of care, and being able to initiate changes, and (2) participation in decision making regarding quality standards, one's job context, and institutional policies.

Answer to Question 2

D
Weight gain is a side effect that is caused by the antihistaminic effects of antidepressants. Other antihistaminic effects include sedation and interaction with other drugs that result in central nervous system depression. Blurred vision is caused by the anticholinergic effects of antidepressants, while dizziness is caused by the alpha-adrenergic effects of antidepressants.
