What is the most appropriate action for a nurse when assessing an adolescent experiencing cyberbullying and showing signs of depression?

A. Recommending the adolescent stop using social media altogether is overly restrictive and may increase feelings of isolation or worsen depressive symptoms. Social media use can often be modified safely rather than eliminated entirely. B. Assessing the adolescent's coping strategies and providing educational resources is correct. adolescent mental health intervention emphasizes holistic assessment and skill-building. By evaluating how the adolescent currently manages cyberbullying, the nurse can provide coping strategies, education on safe social media use, and support resources, empowering the adolescent to handle the situation while addressing depressive symptoms. C. Ignoring the cyberbullying and focusing solely on depression symptoms is inappropriate. Cyberbullying is a significant stressor and contributor to depression, so addressing it is essential for effective care. D. Informing the adolescent's parents and leaving intervention entirely to them is insufficient. While parental involvement may be necessary, the nurse should actively guide, educate, and support both the adolescent and family, rather than delegating responsibility completely.
