Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has severe depression following the loss of her spouse. When identifying client goals, which of the following goals should the nurse identify as the highest priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: While this is an important goal for improving self-esteem and mood, it may not be the highest priority when the client's safety is at risk. This goal focuses on future planning and motivation, which is important for recovery but may not be as urgent as ensuring immediate safety. Understanding one's grief process is important for emotional healing, but it is not typically as critical as ensuring safety in the immediate term. This goal addresses the immediate safety and well-being of the client. Depression, especially severe depression, can increase the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviors. It is crucial to ensure the client's safety and have measures in place for her to reach out for help if she feels overwhelmed or unsafe.
