A client, age 56 years, became severely depressed when the last of her six children moved out of the
home 4 months ago. Since then she has neglected to care for herself, lost weight, and repeatedly states "No one cares about me anymore.". Before the onset of symptoms she had been a meticulous housekeeper, was neatly groomed, and often participated in community activities. She was noncompliant with tricyclic antidepressant therapy, so admission to the mental health unit was sought. After her admission, the client repeatedly tells nursing staff "No one cares about me. I'm not worth anything.". A helpful response by the nurse would be a. "I care about you, and I want to try to help you get better.". b. "Things will look brighter soon. Everyone feels down once in a while.". c. "It is difficult for others to care about you when you say the same negative things over and over.". d.
