A combat experienced military veteran with a diagnosis of depression is concerned about adjusting to civilian life and reconnecting with family and friends
In assisting the individual's long-term readjustment, the mental health nurse would suggest a referral to: a. job retraining programs.
b. family and marital counseling sessions.
c. civilian employment assistance services.
d. support groups comprised of combat veterans.
D
Upon returning home the combat veteran finds that he no longer has the psychological and emotional support of his comrades in arms. He finds little solace from family and friends who cannot share his experiences and often has difficulty assimilating to his previous life. A support group comprised of fellow military personnel would be the most positive form of assistance to provide long-term positive readjustment to civilian life.
