Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has depression following a recent job loss. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to assess the client's personal coping skills?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "How have you dealt with similar situations in the past?" This question assesses the client's personal coping skills by exploring their previous experiences and coping strategies. By understanding how the client has managed similar challenges before, the nurse can gain insights into their resilience and coping mechanisms. This question focuses on the client's ability to handle adversity and adapt to stressful situations, providing valuable information for developing an effective care plan.
The other choices are incorrect because:
A: Focuses on the client's current feelings, not their coping skills.
B: Addresses the impact of the situation on the client's future, not their coping strategies.
D: Inquires about how the situation affects the client's life, but doesn't directly assess coping skills.
