Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Depression is thought to be related to lowered availability of the neurotransmitter serotonin. SSRIs
act by blocking reuptake of serotonin, leave a higher concentration available at the synaptic cleft.
Option B: SSRIs actually prevent destruction of serotonin. Option C: SSRIs have no effect on
acetylcholine and dopamine production. Option D: SSRIs do not produce muscarinic or a1
norepinephrine blockade.

Answer to Question 2

D
Signs of potential relapse include feeling tense, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, increased
withdrawal, and increased bizarre or magical thinking. Option A: Medication noncompliance may
not be implicated. Relapse can occur even when the client is taking medication regularly. Option B:
Psychoeducation is better delivered when the client's symptoms are stable. Option C: Chronic
deterioration is not the most viable explanation.
