Question 1 of 5

A nurse observes that a client who has depression is sitting alone in the room crying. As the nurse approaches, the client states, 'I'm feeling really down and don't want to talk to anyone right now.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Answer B is correct because it demonstrates empathy and support without imposing the need to talk. The nurse respects the client's wish for solitude while offering companionship, which can provide comfort and reassurance.
Choice A is incorrect as it may come across as probing and intrusive.
Choice C, though empathetic, shifts the focus to the nurse's experiences.
Choice D imposes a solution on the client, which may not align with their needs.

Choices E, F, and G are irrelevant and do not address the client's emotional state.
