Abstract:
Advanced practice nurses within acute care settings are responsible for providing healthcare to a rapidly expanding population of elderly patients. Medical advances have contributed to the longevity of the American population, resulting in an increase in age-related disease that can lead to depression. It is important for acute care nurses to become familiar with the various classes of antidepressant medications and the implications for their use.
