    The nurse is teaching the family of a client about the signs and symptoms of major depression prior to the discharge of their loved one from an inpatient stay after a suicide attempt. Which statement by a family member warrants further education by the nurse?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Encouraging physical activity, like a daily walk, is a positive way to support the client’s mental health and can help with symptoms of depression. B. Setting timers for medications and meals is a helpful strategy to ensure the client adheres to the prescribed treatment plan. C. Letting the client have complete freedom without offering support or asking questions is a risky approach. The nurse should encourage family involvement and monitoring, as clients recovering from a suicide attempt need continued emotional support and guidance. D. Engaging with the client about their feelings and daily goals can help maintain communication and provide emotional support.
