A client, age 56 years, became severely depressed when the last of her six children moved out of the
  home 4 months ago. Since then she has neglected to care for herself, lost weight, and repeatedly
  states No one cares about me anymore..
 
  Before the onset of symptoms she had been a meticulous
  housekeeper, was neatly groomed, and often participated in community activities. She was
  noncompliant with tricyclic antidepressant therapy, so admission to the mental health unit was
  sought. After her admission, the client repeatedly tells nursing staff No one cares about me. I'm not
  worth anything.. A helpful response by the nurse would be
  a. I care about you, and I want to try to help you get better..
  b. Things will look brighter soon. Everyone feels down once in a while..
  c. It is difficult for others to care about you when you say the same negative things
  over and over..
  d. I'll sit with you for 10 minutes, I'll return for 10 minutes at lunchtime, and again
  at 2:30 this afternoon..
