Ans: A
Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant and is associated with sedation, orthostatic hypertension, and anticholinergic effects such as dry mouth and constipation. The client needs to be careful with activities because the drug is sedating. The client should change positions slowly to minimize orthostatic hypotension. Sugarless candies, good oral hygiene, and frequent rinsing of the mouth are helpful to combat dry mouth. A high fiber intake would be appropriate to decrease possible constipation.
