Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Drowsiness is not a common side effect of phentermine/topiramate.

Choice B rationale:

An irregular menstrual cycle is not a common side effect of phentermine/topiramate.

Choice C rationale:

Phentermine/topiramate is a medication used to assist with weight loss. Topiramate, one of the components of this medication, can increase the risk of birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Therefore, it is important for women of childbearing age to avoid becoming pregnant while on this medication and to use effective contraception.

Choice D rationale:

Loose stools are a potential side effect of phentermine/topiramate, but this statement does not necessarily indicate an understanding of the medication's purpose and precautions.

A. "I should expect to have up to 12 treatments." B. "I should expect this treatment to cure my illness." C. "I will receive an antianxiety medication during the treatments." D. "I will wake up 2 hours after the treatment."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is typically administered as a series of treatments, often ranging from 6 to 12 sessions, to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.

Choice B rationale:

ECT can provide relief from severe depressive symptoms, but it is not necessarily considered a "cure" for depression.

Choice C rationale:

ECT is not usually accompanied by antianxiety medication during the treatments.

Choice D rationale:

Recovery from ECT typically occurs within minutes after the treatment, not after 2 hours.
