A patient who is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder has a history of depression and multiple suicide attempts is prescribed a medication to address these symptoms. Which medication class would the nurse expect to administer?

A. NMDA Antagonists: These are primarily used in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and certain pain syndromes, not for treating depression or suicidal ideation in Borderline Personality Disorder. B. Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI): MAOIs can treat depression but are not first-line due to significant dietary restrictions and potential for severe drug interactions, making them less safe for patients with impulsivity and suicide risk. C. Cholinesterase Inhibitors: These medications are used mainly for dementia-related cognitive decline, not for depression or suicidality in personality disorders. D. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI): SSRIs are commonly prescribed for depression and suicidality in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. They are first-line due to their safety profile, effectiveness, and tolerability.
