Answer to Question 1

B
Assisting a patient to change clothes after an episode of incontinence saves embarrassment for the patient, which contributes to a positive self-concept. Requiring a restrained patient to remain silent implies punishment rather than use of an external control until they are able to regain control. The other options are not therapeutic and do not promote psychologic safety.

Answer to Question 2

C
Bupropion has no lethal-overdose potential, making it well suited for use in outpatient treatment of depression. Bupropion has a narrow therapeutic index but is far less lethal than TCAs or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). However, it might cause agitation, anxiety, seizures, anorexia, and weight loss.
