    Which intervention(s) should the nurse include in the plan of care for an adolescent client who is depressed? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Restricting visitors may exacerbate feelings of isolation and may not be therapeutic for the adolescent client who is depressed. B. Reinforcing statements regarding a will to live and realistic plans for the future can provide hope and motivation for the adolescent to engage in treatment and recovery. C. Understanding the client's suicide plan is crucial for assessing risk and planning appropriate interventions to ensure safety. D. Encouraging the client to discuss thoughts and feelings promotes open communication and allows the adolescent to express emotions, which can be therapeutic and supportive in managing depression. E. While limiting excessive screen time, including video games, may be beneficial for overall well-being, it may not directly address the underlying issues contributing to the adolescent's depression and may be less relevant in the immediate plan of care.
