A nurse is caring for a client who is depressed and refuses to participate in group therapy or perform activities of daily living. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will assist you in getting out of bed and getting dressed." This statement shows empathy and a willingness to help the client without being forceful or confrontational. By offering assistance, the nurse acknowledges the client's feelings and offers support in a non-judgmental way, which can help build trust and rapport.
Choice A is incorrect because it is authoritative and may come across as punitive, which could further alienate the client.
Choice B is incorrect as it enables the client to remain in bed without addressing the underlying issues.
Choice D is incorrect as it uses a threatening approach that could increase the client's resistance and feelings of hopelessness.
