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. Saying "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 assumption on the client. This option is incorrect. B. Asking "Why would you believe such things?" is not a therapeutic response, as it sounds judgmental and confrontational, and may make the client feel defensive or ashamed. This option is incorrect. C. Asking "How does this make you feel?" is a therapeutic response, as it encourages the client to express their emotions and shows empathy and interest from the nurse. This option is correct. D. Saying "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 family issues and may increase their guilt or anxiety. This option is incorrect.
