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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. This statement indicates a symptom of clinical depression, which is feeling numbness. Numbness is a common symptom where individuals feel emotionally disconnected and unresponsive. This lack of emotional response is a key feature of depression. Reporting this to the provider is important for further assessment and intervention.
The other choices are incorrect because:
A: This statement reflects sadness and a realistic understanding of the grieving process, not necessarily depression.
B: This statement shows reliance on family support, which is a healthy coping mechanism.
D: Feeling anger is a common emotional response to grief and does not necessarily indicate clinical depression.
