  • 2. 

    Depression later in life is a normal part of aging

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Depression later in life is not a normal part of aging. While it is true that older adults may experience certain life changes and challenges that can contribute to feelings of sadness or loneliness, depression is not a normal or inevitable part of aging. Depression is a medical condition that can affect individuals of any age, and it is important to recognize and address it with appropriate support and treatment.

    A response to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) should be seen

    • Within one week

    • Within two to four weeks

    • Within several months

    Correct Answer
    A. Within two to four weeks
    Explanation
    Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a type of medication commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. These medications work by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation, in the brain. However, it takes time for the medication to build up in the system and for the brain to adjust to the increased serotonin levels. Therefore, it is expected that a response to SSRIs will be seen within two to four weeks of starting the medication. This timeframe allows for the medication to reach therapeutic levels in the body and for the individual to start experiencing the positive effects of increased serotonin levels.

    The teaching plan for a patient with depression should include which of the following:

    • Medication effects are not immediate

    • Depression has a biological component

    • Effects of immediate discontinuation of an anti-depressant

    • Identification of pleasant events

    • All of the above

    • A. and B.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The teaching plan for a patient with depression should include all of the options listed. Medication effects are not immediate, so it is important for the patient to understand that it may take some time for the medication to start working. Depression has a biological component, meaning that it is not solely caused by external factors, and this should be discussed with the patient. The effects of immediate discontinuation of an anti-depressant can be severe, so it is important for the patient to be aware of this and to follow their healthcare provider's instructions for tapering off the medication. Identification of pleasant events can be a helpful coping strategy for managing depression, so this should also be included in the teaching plan.

    The effects of anti-depressants are

    • To decrease depression

    • Elevate mood

    • Addiction with prologed use

    Correct Answer
    A. To decrease depression
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to decrease depression. Anti-depressants are medications specifically designed to alleviate symptoms of depression, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low mood. They work by balancing certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, which play a crucial role in regulating mood. By decreasing depression, these medications aim to improve overall mental well-being and quality of life for individuals suffering from depressive disorders.

  • 6. 

    Depression symptoms that persist for one week should alert the health care professional to the presence of a moderate depression

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Depression symptoms that persist for one week should not necessarily alert a healthcare professional to the presence of a moderate depression. The duration of symptoms alone is not enough to determine the severity of depression. The severity of depression is typically assessed based on a combination of factors, including the intensity and impact of symptoms on daily functioning. Therefore, it is incorrect to assume that symptoms lasting for one week automatically indicate a moderate depression.

This means that they can be used to track the progress of depression treatment, determine if additional therapy or support is required, and help individuals identify if they are experiencing symptoms of depression.

  • 10. 

    The most common symptom of depression reported by patients in late life is

    • Sadness

    • Memory loss

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical complaints
    Explanation
    In late life, physical complaints are the most common symptom of depression reported by patients. This is because older adults may have difficulty expressing their emotions or may be more focused on their physical health. Physical complaints can include issues like chronic pain, fatigue, sleep problems, changes in appetite, and digestive problems. These symptoms often manifest as a result of the underlying depression and can be a key indicator for healthcare professionals to identify and diagnose depression in older adults.
