The nurse is conducting a group education session for patients who have been diagnosed with depression. The nurse evaluates the education as effective when a patient makes which comment(s) about the cause of depression?
1. "Depression has many causes; they could include environmental as well as brain-based disorders."
2. "Depression includes impaired relationships, and is also an inherited illness."
3. "We really don't know what causes depression; it has not been studied very much."
4. "Depression results from unresolved conflicts in your childhood."
5. "Depression results from parents who are cold and distant and don't really care about their children."
Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale: Depression has many causes; it is a brain-based disorder that is exacerbated by environmental influences. Depression runs in families, supporting a genetic link, and will include impaired relationships. Environmental influences are only one of the causes of depression; this answer does not include the biological basis for depression. Depression could result from cold and distant parents, but this answer does not include the biological basis for depression. Depression has been studied extensively.
