initiating respirations on his own and the prognosis is very poor. After he is extubated he
begins to initiate his own respirations and 24 hours later has not expired yet. The decision is

on mechanical ventilation for 7 days. While discussing his discharge plan he tells you that he

depression. She is getting good symptom control, but when she presents today for follow-up
she says that her 19-year-old daughter was just put on the same medication for her
diagnosis of anxiety. She wants to know how the same medication can work for two different
conditions. The best response is to tell Mrs. Kirby that:

.
can be used for both disorders.
B It is likely that her daughter’s health care provider thinks there is an underlying
.
depression that is contributing to her anxiety.
C Although the two disorders have their origin in different parts of the brain, the same

chemical neurotransmitters contributes to cause in both disorders so some
medications treat both.

.
different health care provider.
