The nurse notices that a depressed client taking amitriptyline (Elavil) for 2 weeks has become very outgoing, cheerful, and talkative. The nurse would suspect which of the following
A. The client is responding to the antipsychotic.
B. The client may be experiencing increased energy and is at an increased risk for suicide.
C. The client is ready to be discharged from treatment.
D. The client is experiencing a split personality.
参考答案：B
解析：As antidepressants take effect, individuals suffering from depression may begin to feel energetic enough to mobilize a suicide plan. Option A is incorrect because Elavil is an antidepressant, not an antipsychotic. Option C is incorrect because the client shouldn’t be discharged until the risk of suicide has diminished. Option D indicates a response to the antidepressant, not a split personality.
