A client with major depressive disorder says to the nurse. 1 don't think I can go on living like this anymore." Which of the following responses by the nurse demonstrate nontherapeutic communication techniques? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A. This response uses false reassurance, which minimizes the client's feelings and discourages expression. B. This response can induce guilt and shame, which is nontherapeutic and may worsen the client’s distress. C. Telling the client they "shouldn't talk like that" is judgmental and invalidates their emotional experience. D. Asking “why” questions can feel confrontational or accusatory and may lead the client to shut down emotionally. E. This response is therapeutic—it invites open discussion and helps the client explore their feelings in a supportive, nonjudgmental way.
