Question 1 of 5
A client with depression does not want to communicate with friends, uses television watching as a means of escaping responsibilities, and describes the inability to handle personal circumstances. Which coping strategy should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Focusing on small achievable tasks helps in breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable parts, aiding in a sense of accomplishment. Shifting attention to others may strain the client further, relaxation without addressing issues may worsen depression, and solely ventilating emotions does not address handling responsibilities.
