The mother of a teenage client who has an adjustment disorder with depressed mood mentions, "I'm glad we're getting the problems taken care of now so we won't have to worry about de-pression in the future."
The information about risk that should serve as a basis for the nurse's reply is:
1. Early intervention with teen problems prevents future problems as an adult
2. Diagnosis of teen adjustment disorder may predict problems as an adult
3. No information exists that will help the nurse frame an answer
4. Unless the client has first-rank relatives with depression, risk is limited
ANS: 2
Recent literature suggests that adjustment disorder in adolescence may predict problems of de-pression or other adjustment disorder as an adult; thus the nurse should not entirely discount the possibility of future problems.
