Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse needs to make sure that any herbs the client may take are not harmful when taken in
conjunction with the prescribed antidepressants. Options A, B, and D are considered complementary
treatments and are of somewhat less concern because they do not involve harmful interactions
among ingested substances.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although all the questions might be appropriate to ask, only option 3 focuses on the client's eating
patterns. Option A focuses on distortions in body image. Option B is unrelated to eating pattern.
Option D explores the client's feelings about weight.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
