A client explains to a nurse that he had been taking amitriptyline (elavil) for depression having some improvement. the provider
recently changed his medication to clomipramine (anafranil). the client is confused as to why his medication was changed to "the same type of drug." what is the nurse's best response?
The nurse should explain well to the client that though the medication
is similar, some client respond better to the other drug. Moreover, it could be that the provider has
changed his medication to clomipramine because amitriptyline has unbearable side
effects like impaired immune and sexual function, weight gain, blurred vision,
trouble urinating and constipation.
The answer would be: T<span>hese drugs are similar but some clients respond better to one than the other.
Elavil and anafranil come from similar drug family of amitriptyline type. But they have a different structure which will have some effect on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of the drug. This could lead to different response and results in the different patient. The drug is similar, but the effect might be different.</span>

Commensalism involves a relationship between two organisms where one benefits while the other is unaffected. In this case, the gopher snake gets from the burrow made by the desert sake. The desert rat is unaffected (does not benefit or lose) by this action by the snake.
