Answer to Question 1

Ans: DShort-term memory loss is a common side effect of the ECT procedure. Arrhythmias, tachycardia, seizures, and agitation are not expected following ECT; they should be thoroughly assessed.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
ECT is indicated for treating major depression with psychotic features. ECT is not used in substance abuse or personality disorders; it would not be appropriate to treat with ECT for the sole reason that the client does not comply with treatment.
