Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Tricyclic antidepressants are cardiotoxic. An overdose could result in a fatal dysrhythmia. Cardiac status is the primary assessment, not the patient's renal status. Cardiac status is the primary assessment, not the patient's liver function. Cardiac status is the primary assessment, not the patient's neurological function.
