Is this something to worry about?" Which of the following potential responses by the nurse is most appropriate to this situation? A) "It sounds as though the antidepressants are working well. Just ask him if he is experiencing any side effects and let me know." B) "I'm concerned. Sometimes depressed people seem contented when they have decided to commit suicide.
