Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The client's symptoms, along with the use of paroxetine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor SSRI), suggest serotonin syndrome. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and acute dystonic reaction would occur with antipsychotic use. Hypothyroidism may result from lithium use.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors include fluoxetine and sertraline. Duloxetine and venlafaxine are serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Bupropion is a norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Amoxapine is a tricyclic antidepressant.
