Answer to Question 1

A
Biologically based practices include dietary supplements and herbal therapies that may have adverse or unwanted effects in combination with pharmacotherapy. None of the other practices has the potential to interact with pharmacological agents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Spending time with the patient at intervals throughout the day shows acceptance by the nurse and will help the patient establish a therapeutic relationship. It also helps counter the withdrawal often seen in depression. Setting definite times for contacts and keeping the appointments shows reliability on the part of the nurse, an element that fosters trust building. Profoundly depressed persons whose self-image is very negative have difficulty accepting that others could care and would tend to believe a nurse who indicates she cares is insincere. Things will look brighter is trite and a clich and is also difficult for a profoundly depressed person to imagine and accept. The patient is essentially unable to say positive things at this point, so pointing out that her behavior is causing others to reject her tends to worsen her self-esteem rather than help her change. Also, it is premature to use confrontation during the initial phase of the nurse-patient relationship.
