Amenorrhea is a possible side<br>effect of chlorpromazine, but is not an extrapyramidal side<br>effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Question 2<br>1 out of 1 points<br>An adult with depression has been treated with medication and cognitive<br>behavioral therapy.

What<br>referrals could the nurse make to help this patient prevent recurrence of<br>depression?<br>Selected<br>Answer:<br>Social skills training<br>Answers: Social skills training<br>Use of complementary<br>therapy<br><br>Response<br>Feedback<br>:<br>Relaxation training classes<br>Learning desensitization<br>techniques<br>Social skills training is helpful in treating and preventing the<br>recurrence of depression. Training focuses on assertiveness and<br>coping skills that lead to positive reinforcement from others.<br>Use of complementary therapy refers to adjunctive therapies<br>such as herbals. Assertiveness would be of greater value than<br>relaxation training because passivity has been identified as a<br>concern. Desensitization is used in treatment of phobias<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Question 3<br>A patient with suicidal impulses is placed on the highest level of suicide<br>1 out of 1 points<br>precautions.

Plastic dishes on trays<br>and the removal of potentially harmful objects from the<br>patient\u2019s possession are measures included in any-level suicide<br>precautions.
