A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for phenelzine. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid which of the following over-the-counter medications?

A. Displacement:
Displacement is a defense mechanism where a person redirects their feelings, often negative or hostile ones, from the original source or target to a different, less threatening target. For example, if the client were to express anger at their boss by yelling at their family members instead, it would be an example of displacement.
B. Rationalization:

Rationalization is a defense mechanism in which a person provides logical or reasonable explanations to justify or explain a situation or behavior, even if these explanations are not entirely true or valid. It involves creating justifications or excuses to make an event or one's actions appear more reasonable or acceptable. In this case, the client is rationalizing the job loss by attributing it to their boss not liking them, which may be an oversimplified or inaccurate explanation.
C. Dissociation:

Dissociation is a defense mechanism where a person mentally separates themselves from their own thoughts, feelings, or experiences to cope with overwhelming or traumatic situations. It involves a disconnection from reality. The client's statement doesn't suggest dissociation; rather, they are providing a reason for their job loss.

D. Repression:
Repression is a defense mechanism that involves the unconscious exclusion of painful or anxiety-provoking thoughts, feelings, or memories from awareness. It is not readily visible or expressed in behavior. The client's statement involves a conscious attempt to explain their job loss, so it's not an example of repression.

A. "My partner and I recently had our fourth child."
Having a strong support system, such as a partner and family, especially during significant life events like the birth of a child, can be a protective factor against suicide. Supportive relationships are important for mental well-being.

B. "My family has a history of suicide."
A family history of suicide is a risk factor, not a protective factor. It indicates a higher risk for suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

C. “I have Crohn's disease, but it's well-controlled."
Having a chronic illness, even if well-controlled, can be a stressor, potentially increasing the risk of suicidal thoughts. It's not a protective factor.

D. “I just received my license to practice medicine."
Achieving a significant milestone, such as getting a medical license, can enhance self-esteem, provide a sense of purpose, and increase social support, making it a protective factor against suicide.
