Answer to Question 1

B
Psychologic safety is violated when one patient is allowed to harass another. Staff must set limits to protect the vulnerable patient. Norms, balance, and structure refer to other elements of the environment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Improved appetite might be caused by the antihistaminic effect of the drug. Improvement in mood might not occur for 2 to 4 weeks. Suicidal ideation might not improve for 2 to 4 weeks.
