Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Prior to the ECT procedure, the client is NPO for 8 hours. The client will empty his bladder just before or after vital signs are taken prior to the ECT. The client will not be harmed or feel any pain. The client will be asleep during the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
ECT should not be reserved as a last resort. The most common use of ECT is with clients who have not responded to alternative treatments such as pharmacotherapy, exhibit a deterioration in clinical symptoms, or exhibit suicidal ideations.
