A nurse is leading a grief support group for bereaved clients. Which of the following client statements should the nurse report to the provider as an indication of clinical depression?

A. This statement reflects normal grief and sadness, which are part of the bereavement process. It does not necessarily indicate clinical depression but a recognition of the mourning process. B. This statement suggests a normal grief response where anger is directed outward. It does not immediately indicate depression unless the anger is persistent and inhibits functioning. C. This statement indicates reliance on support systems, which is a positive coping mechanism. It does not suggest clinical depression but shows that the client is still engaging in their support network. D. Numbness is a concerning symptom that may indicate clinical depression. It suggests an emotional shutdown, which is a red flag for major depressive disorder and warrants further assessment and intervention.
