Problem:
A client is admitted to a mental health unit with a diagnosis of depression and is participating in group sessions. The client asks a nurse if they are married or in a romantic relationship. What is the best response by the nurse to maintain a therapeutic relationship? "It sounds as though you are interested in developing a relationship with me." "I'm curious about your question but I want to know how you are feeling today." "Group therapy is not the appropriate time to discuss my relationships." "Tell me how you knew that I was not married or in a romantic relationship."
