A client who has neuropathy of the lower extremities is prescribed an opioid analgesic for pain. The provider adds a tricyclic antidepressant medication (TCA) for pain management. The client asks the nurse, Why am I getting this new drug?
 
  I am not depressed, my feet just burn. What is the best response from the nurse?
  1. This drug will also help with the nerve pain you are having in your feet.
  2. It is to help you sleep at night instead of using the opioid.
  3. Sometimes people get depressed with chronic pain.
  4. Maybe this is a mistake, if you are not depressed.
