Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states, 'Things will never work out.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: "Have you been thinking about harming yourself?" This is the most appropriate because it directly addresses the client's statement about things not working out, showing concern for their well-being and opening a dialogue about suicide risk.
Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's feelings.
Choice B is not as direct as C in addressing the potential for self-harm.
Choice D is inappropriate as it jumps to a medication solution without assessing the client's safety.
