Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with major depressive disorder tells the nurse that he and his family would be better off if he were gone. Which of the following is the nurse's priority response?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Are you thinking of harming yourself?" This is the priority response because it directly addresses the client's suicidal ideation, ensuring their immediate safety. It opens a conversation about their intent and level of risk, allowing the nurse to assess and intervene appropriately.
Choice A does not directly address the suicidal ideation and may minimize the seriousness of the client's statement.

Choices B and C focus on exploring the client's feelings but do not address the immediate safety concern.
Therefore, they are not the priority.
