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: C

Rationale: The correct response is C: "I'll just sit here with you for a few minutes then." This response shows empathy and support without pressuring the client to talk. The nurse is offering a physical presence, which can provide comfort and validation to the client's emotions. It respects the client's autonomy and allows them to open up at their own pace.


Choice A is incorrect because it puts pressure on the client to explain their feelings, which may not be helpful at that moment.
Choice B is invalid as it shifts the focus onto the nurse's experiences rather than the client's.
Choice D is not ideal as it assumes talking will help without considering the client's readiness.
