A 16-year-old was hospitalized 3 weeks ago. He has been confined to bed throughout his hospital stay because of a crushed pelvis. His parents tell the nurse, "Our son is just staring off into space; he won't talk to us

What is the best response the nurse can make? 1) "I will inform his physician and see if we can get your son started on an antidepressant." 2) "He is at a critical time in his life; adolescents are often moody, and being in the hospital with an injury will only make that worse." 3) "Your son had a major injury, and his immobility can cause feelings of isolation and depression." 4) "He is bored because he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks; I'll try to find some new activities for him."
