A nurse is reviewing the medical records of a group of clients. For which of the following clients should the nurse recommend a referral for assertive community treatment (ACT)?

A reason: A client who has a new diagnosis of major depressive disorder. While clients with major depressive disorder need support, ACT is typically designed for clients with severe and persistent mental illnesses who require intensive, ongoing care. B reason: A client who has repeated acute care admissions due to schizophrenia. Clients with schizophrenia who have frequent hospitalizations and difficulty managing their illness benefit from ACT. This program provides comprehensive, community-based care and support to reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life. C reason: A client who has requested family therapy following the death of a family member. Family therapy is more appropriate for addressing grief and loss. ACT is not typically indicated for clients dealing primarily with bereavement. D reason: A client who has physical injuries following an incident of partner violence. Clients who have experienced partner violence may need crisis intervention, medical care, and counseling. ACT is not the primary referral for this situation unless the client also has a severe mental illness requiring intensive support.
