Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Altruism is the mechanism by which an individual deals with emotional conflict by meeting the
needs of others and receiving gratification vicariously or from the responses of others. Option B:
Suppression is conscious denial of a disturbing feeling or situation. Option C: Displacement
transfers emotions associated with a particular person or event to another person or situation that is
less threatening. Option D: Passive aggression occurs when an individual deals with emotional
conflict by indirectly and unassertively expressing aggression toward others.

Answer to Question 2

A
Both orthostatic hypotension and urinary retention are side effects of tricyclic antidepressants. The
elderly often have circulatory problems predisposing them to orthostatic hypotension and often are
particularly sensitive to the anticholinergic side effects of these drugs, which may cause urinary
retention.
