  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..
