A nurse is admitting a client to the psychiatric unit after attempting suicide. The client states, "My family does not care whether I live or die." Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "I'm sure your family does not want you to die." is not a therapeutic response, as it invalidates the client's feelings and imposes the nurse's own assumptions. This choice is incorrect. B. Why would you believe such things?" is not a therapeutic response, as it sounds judgmental and confrontational, which can increase the client's defensiveness and resistance. This choice is incorrect. C. "How does this make you feel?" is a therapeutic response, as it encourages the client to express and explore their emotions, which can help to build rapport and trust with the nurse. This choice is correct. D. "You should talk to your family about your feelings." is not a therapeutic response, as it implies that the client is responsible for resolving their own problems and that their family is willing and able to listen and support them, which may not be true. This choice is incorrect.
