A woman became severely depressed when the last of her six children moved out of the home 4 months ago. She has withdrawn from others, neglected to care for herself, lost weight, and repeatedly states, No one cares about me anymore..
 
  Before the onset of symptoms she had been gregarious, a meticulous housekeeper, was neatly groomed, and often participated in community activities. Upon admission to the mental health unit, the patient repeatedly tells nursing staff, No one cares about me. I'm worthless.. Which response by the nurse would be most therapeutic? a. I care about you, and I want to try to help you get better again soon..
  b. Things will look brighter soon. Everyone feels down once in a while..
  c. It is difficult for others to care when you say negative things over and over..
  d. I'll sit with you 10 minutes now, and again during lunch, and at 2:30 PM..
