Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with a diagnosis of depression. A decrease in which of the following neurotransmitters has been implicated in depression?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Norepinephrine and serotonin. Depression is associated with decreased levels of norepinephrine and serotonin. Norepinephrine plays a role in mood regulation, energy levels, and stress response. Serotonin is involved in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. A decrease in these neurotransmitters can lead to symptoms of depression.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because GABA, acetylcholine, glutamate, and histamine are not primarily implicated in depression. This makes choice C the most appropriate answer based on the neurotransmitter systems commonly linked to depression.
