Question 1 of 5
Which of the following interventions should not be included in the care plan for a client with major depressive disorder?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Interventions for a client with major depressive disorder should focus on promoting activities, adequate nutrition, hydration, and monitoring for suicidal ideation.
