A client with a major depressive disorder is admitted to the inpatient psychiatric unit. Which intervention should the practical nurse (PN) use to demonstrate support of the client?
One of the most important interventions in caring for clients with major depressive disorder is building a therapeutic relationship. Scheduling regular periods of time for interaction with the client demonstrates support and provides an opportunity for the client to express their feelings and concerns.
Journaling and self-reflection can be helpful interventions for some clients, but they do not necessarily demonstrate support.
Assisting the client to identify symptoms of depression is important for assessment and care planning, but it is not a way to demonstrate support.
Incorporating animated communication techniques may be appropriate for certain clients, but it is not a universal intervention for supporting clients with major depressive disorder.
