Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has major depressive disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Psychomotor agitation. In major depressive disorder, psychomotor agitation is a common symptom characterized by restlessness, pacing, fidgeting, or hand-wringing. This is due to the increased inner tension and anxiety experienced by the individual. Dismissal of past failures (
A) is not a typical finding in major depressive disorder, as individuals often dwell on negative thoughts. An increase in energy (
C) is unlikely, as fatigue and low energy levels are more common in depression. The other choices are not provided, but it's important to remember that psychomotor agitation can be a key indicator in identifying major depressive disorder.
