Question 1 of 5
A nurse is leading a grief support group for bereaved clients. Which of the following client statements should the nurse report to the provider as an indication of clinical depression?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because feeling numbness can be a sign of clinical depression, known as emotional blunting. This lack of emotional response is a common symptom of depression and can indicate a serious mental health concern. Clients experiencing numbness may have difficulty feeling joy or even sadness, leading to a sense of detachment from their emotions. Reporting this to the provider is crucial for further assessment and appropriate intervention.
Choice A reflects a normal grief response, as it is common to feel that happiness may take time to return.
Choice B reflects anger, which can also be a part of the grieving process.
Choice C indicates reliance on family support, which is a healthy coping mechanism.
