Question 1 of 5
A client becomes very dejected and states, "No one really cares what happens to me. Life isn't worth living anymore." Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it shows empathy and acknowledges the client's feelings while also expressing concern. It validates the client's emotions and offers support without dismissing or invalidating their experience.
Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the family's visits, which may not address the client's underlying emotional distress.
Choice B puts the client on the spot and may come off as confrontational.
Choice C is open-ended but lacks the immediate reassurance and support the client needs.
