The patient has asked the nurse to assist him to ambulate to the bathroom. The nurse is aware that the patient is currently taking an antidepressant medication, so she should:
1.   never leave the patient alone in his room.
2.   ask the patient if he could use the bedside commode instead of going to the bathroom.
3.   make suicidal precautions a part of the care plan.
4.   ask the patient to sit on the side of the bed for a minute or two before standing, and then stand slowly.


This is for my medical nursing class
