Question 1 of 5

When the nurse addresses questions to an adult client who is depressed, the client's responses are delayed. Which intervention should the nurse include in the client's plan of care?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Spending time sitting in silence with the client provides a supportive presence without pressure for immediate responses, which is helpful for depression-related delays in communication. Exercise may be beneficial but does not address delayed responses directly. Asking about depression is useful for assessment but not immediate needs. Observing for psychosis is not indicated unless other symptoms are present.
