A client dies in the emergency department. The client's mother states that she is overwhelmed and doesn't know how to proceed since she has never had a death in the family before. Which action should the nurse avoid?

Rationale: A. Social workers are trained to provide emotional support, help the family navigate practical matters after a death, and connect them with grief resources. This is a supportive and professional intervention. B. Support groups can provide comfort, normalize the grieving process, and allow the mother to share experiences with others who have faced similar losses. This is a non-invasive and helpful intervention. C. Recommending antidepressants immediately is inappropriate because normal grief is not a psychiatric disorder and does not automatically require pharmacologic treatment. Prescribing or suggesting medication without a thorough assessment by a qualified provider can be harmful and may pathologize a natural grieving process. D. Spiritual support can provide comfort, guidance, and coping strategies in accordance with the mother’s beliefs. It is an acceptable and culturally sensitive intervention.
