A patient tells the nurse, My doctor prescribed Paxil (paroxetine) for my depression. I assume I'll have side effects like I had when I was taking Tofranil (imipramine). The nurse's reply should be based on the knowledge that paroxetine is a(n):
 
  a. selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
  b. tricyclic antidepressant.
  c. MAO inhibitor.
  d. SSRI.

ANS: D
Paroxetine is an SSRI and will not produce the same side effects as imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. The patient will probably not experience dry mouth, constipation, or orthostatic hypotension.
