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: The correct answer is B: "I'll just sit here with you for a few minutes then." This response demonstrates empathy and support without imposing solutions or pressuring the client to talk. It acknowledges the client's feelings and offers companionship, which can provide comfort and reassurance.
Choice A may pressure the client to talk, which may not be what the client needs at the moment.
Choice C shifts the focus to the nurse's own experiences, which may not be helpful for the client.
Choice D may come across as confrontational or dismissive of the client's emotions.
Therefore, choice B is the most appropriate response in this situation.
