A client recently diagnosed with MDD shares feeling lonely and disconnected from others. During the assessment, they identify a few supportive individuals and mention a local support group they are considering joining. What should the nurse do next to support the client's care?
Focus on teaching the client mindfulness techniques to help them manage their emotions independently while avoiding reliance on others.
Recommend the client reflect on their relationships before making decisions about seeking support from others.
Ask the client if they are comfortable involving the supportive individuals and resources they identified, and if they agree, work collaboratively to connect with them.
Encourage the client to join the local support group as a way to address their feelings of isolation and develop new coping tools.
The correct answer places importance on evaluating the client's comfort level with involving their identified support system and taking proactive steps, with their consent, to engage that support. This helps establish a realistic, collaborative care plan while respecting the client's autonomy. Incorrect answers fail to consider the importance of gaining the client's consent, assessing obstacles, or balancing emotional support with independence.
