Answer to Question 1

D
Options A, B, and C: During the continuation phase of treatment for bipolar disorder, the physical
needs of the client are not as important an issue as they were during the acute episode. After hospital
discharge, treatment focuses on maintaining medication compliance and preventing relapse, both of
which are fostered by ongoing psychoeducation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
SSRIs affect mood, relieving depression in many cases. Option B: SSRIs do not act to reduce
thought disorders. Option C: SSRIs reduce depression but have little effect on motor hyperactivity.
Option D: SSRIs do not produce extrapyramidal symptoms.
