A client who is prescribed a tricyclic antidepressant is brought to the emergency department with a suspected overdose. Which would the nurse assess to support this suspicion? Select all that apply.

A. Offer the client fluids with meals. Offering fluids with meals may decrease the client's appetite by creating a sense of fullness, which could further reduce calorie intake and not aid in weight gain.

B. Increase fiber in the client's diet. While fiber is important for digestive health, it may also contribute to a feeling of fullness and might not directly help in increasing body weight in clients with anorexia.

C. Encourage the client to eat less protein. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and overall health, especially in clients with AIDS. Reducing protein intake would not be beneficial for weight gain or health maintenance.

D. Provide supplemental vitamins and supplemental nutrition. Offering supplemental nutrition and vitamins can help increase caloric intake and ensure that the client receives essential nutrients to support weight gain and overall health. This is the most appropriate action to help increase the client's body weight.

A. "I feel like everyone depends on me too much." This statement indicates a sense of responsibility and connection to others, which may not directly indicate suicidal ideation.

B. "Life has lost its meaning for me." This statement is a strong indicator of hopelessness, which is a key risk factor for suicide. The client feels that life is meaningless, which could indicate a desire to end their life.

C. "I wish I could just take a vacation and get away from it all." While this statement may indicate stress or a desire to escape, it does not directly suggest suicidal intent.

D. "I feel like a failure and wish one thing would just go right." This statement indicates frustration and low self-worth, but it doesn't necessarily indicate an immediate risk of suicide as clearly as statement B.
