Answer to Question 1
B
Blurred vision, an anticholinergic side effect of antidepressant and antipsychotic medications, will usually resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. The most therapeutic intervention is the one that assesses the patient's recall of medication teaching. Moreover, it offers a strategy to assist the patient to cope during work time. The nurse must apply knowledge of the anticholinergic side effects of antidepressants and antipsychotics to select the appropriate nursing intervention for the patient's problem. Although ECT may be offered when patients are unable to take medication, it is premature to suggest ECT or other medications, and these suggestions reflect a knowledge deficit. It is considered best to encourage patients to maintain activities of daily living and work, if possible.
Answer to Question 2
D

Simple actions, gestures, and attitudinal displays that are part of the nurse's culture may be offensive to a patient of a different culture. Understanding this indicates that the nurse will make an effort to display cultural sensitivity.
