A nurse on a mental health unit is planning a group therapy session about assertiveness training. For which of the following clients should the nurse recommend the training?

A reason: A client who has new-onset depression. While assertiveness training can be beneficial for clients with depression, it may not be the most immediate need for someone with new-onset depression. Initial treatment should focus on managing depressive symptoms. B reason: A client who is experiencing auditory hallucinations. Clients experiencing active psychotic symptoms, such as auditory hallucinations, may have difficulty engaging in and benefiting from assertiveness training. Stabilizing their symptoms is the priority. C reason: A client who is experiencing mania. Clients in a manic state may struggle to focus and participate effectively in assertiveness training. Managing manic symptoms is the primary concern for these individuals. D reason: A client who has somatic symptom disorder. Clients with somatic symptom disorder often struggle with expressing their needs and feelings assertively. Assertiveness training can help them communicate more effectively and reduce the psychological distress associated with their physical symptoms.
