Critical incident stress management (CISM) is provided to help emergency personnel successfully manage the stress produced by the crises and disasters that they are called upon to respond to

A client says to the nurse, "I came in to see you because I've been off my medication for 4 years but I feel as though I may be getting depressed again. I've been despondent again and thinking I should have ended it. That's why I'm here to get help." Which response by the nurse would be therapeutic?
A. "Well, you really have had a good long drug-free time, but it sounds as if the health care provider needs to reorder your medication at once." B. "If you've been able to be drug free all this time, you probably don't need to restart the medicine. You probably just need some therapy to help you manage stress." C. "Well, it's been more than 4 years, so you've done really well. Sounds like you're right about getting depressed again, though. Can you tell me what's been happening with you lately?" D. "Well, it's similar to when a client is battered — things have to boil over before the police can act — so you need to be suicidal to get admitted to a hospital or hurt yourself before the health care provider can restart the medication."
