Answer to Question 1

3. Gender, sexual orientation, and religion.

Rationale:
Cultural considerations involve more than an individual's race or ethnicity. Culture is an envelope that includes, among other characteristics, religion, spirituality, gender, disability, sexual orientation and expression, social status, and age. To be a competent provider of cognitive behavioral interventions, the nurse must, at a minimum, understand these variables, be self-aware, and be comfortable working with those from a culture that differs from the nurse's own. Illness prevention, disability, family matters, and group expression are not part of cultural considerations.

Answer to Question 2

3. Improved mood

Rationale:
Antidepressants treat major depression by enhancing mood. Antidepressants are also prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. Recent studies link depression and anxiety to similar neurotransmitter dysfunction, and both seem to respond to treatment with antidepressant medications. An improvement in appetite and sleep might occur with antidepressant medication; however, the medication does not directly stimulate the appetite or cause sleep. Antidepressant medication is not known to improve feelings of guilt.
