Rationale: Overinvolvement with unapproved friends could potentially lead to negative influences and behaviors, but it does not directly correlate with the symptoms described. Overinvolvement with social media could explain the girl's symptoms. Excessive use of social media can lead to social isolation, increased stress, and decreased enjoyment in previously loved activities. While attention-deficit disorder could explain some of the symptoms, such as a decrease in school performance, it does not typically result in social withdrawal or an increased desire to stay in her room. An eating disorder could potentially explain the girl's withdrawal and increased stress, but there is no mention of changes in eating habits or concerns about body image.

Rationale: Trust is an essential component of a therapeutic relationship, but it is not exemplified in this scenario. Trust involves believing in and relying on the honesty, integrity, and reliability of another person. Acceptance involves acknowledging and respecting the feelings, beliefs, and experiences of others without judgment. While acceptance is important in a therapeutic relationship, it is not demonstrated in this scenario. The therapeutic use of self involves using one's personality, insights, perceptions, and judgments as part of the therapeutic process. In this scenario, the nurse is using her personal experience (having children) to connect with the client, which is an example of the therapeutic use of self. Empathy involves understanding and sharing the feelings of another person. While empathy is crucial in a therapeutic relationship, it is not demonstrated in this scenario.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Adjustment disorder is a stress-related condition that can cause emotional and behavioral symptoms. However, the child's withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities and expression of hopelessness about the future are more indicative of depression. Depression is characterized by persistent sadness, a loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, and feelings of hopelessness. The child's behavior aligns with these symptoms, suggesting that they may be experiencing depression. Stress disorder, also known as acute stress disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder, is characterized by severe anxiety, flashbacks, and uncontrollable thoughts about a traumatic event. While the child's behavior could potentially be related to a stress disorder, the symptoms provided are more indicative of depression. Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive fear or anxiety. While the child's expression of hopelessness could potentially be related to an anxiety disorder, the withdrawal from previously enjoyed activities is more indicative of depression.
