Question 1 of 5

An older adult is given the diagnosis of depression and is started on medication. Which group of medications would be appropriate for the depressed older adult?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: SSRIs are often the first-line treatment for depression in older adults due to their favorable side effect profile, including lower risk of sedation and falls compared to other options. Benzodiazepines are not typically used for depression as they treat anxiety and can increase the risk of falls and confusion in older adults. Hypnotics are used for sleep issues, not as antidepressants, and don’t address the core symptoms of depression. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are effective but often reserved for cases where other treatments fail due to their dietary restrictions and potential for serious side effects.
