Answer to Question 1

D
Desipramine is an activating antidepressant, and it might provide a patient who has suicidal ideation with the energy to make an attempt. Because the therapeutic dose and lethal dose are not widely separated, TCA overdose is an often-used suicide plan. Because desipramine appears to be the most toxic TCA, prescribing only a 7-day supply limits the possibility of using the drug in a suicide attempt. The other options are either less relevant or incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

C
A therapeutic environment requires creation of corrective learning experiences to promote a therapeutic atmosphere. Limit-setting, balance, and norms are individual elements of the therapeutic environment and are answers that are too narrow.
