Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a depressive disorder. The client states, "I just can't feel any happiness or joy in life." Which of the following terms should the nurse use when documenting this finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Anhedonia. Anhedonia refers to the inability to experience pleasure or joy, which is a common symptom of depressive disorders. In this case, the client's statement of not feeling happiness or joy directly aligns with the definition of anhedonia.
Choice B, Anergia, refers to lack of energy or motivation, which is not directly related to the client's statement about not feeling happiness or joy.
Choice C, Anosognosia, is a lack of awareness or insight into one's own condition, which is not applicable in this scenario.
Choice D, Akathisia, refers to a movement disorder characterized by restlessness, which is not related to the client's emotional state.
In summary, Anhedonia is the most appropriate term to use when documenting the client's inability to feel happiness or joy, as it directly reflects their emotional experience in the context of a depressive disorder.
