Answer:

2 Refer this client for further evaluation and treatment of suspected depression.  

Explanation:

Depression is a very common disease in our environment and it can be triggered by various factors like stress and sadness. The 86-year-old, shown in the above question, has just been killed by a spouse, which is a sad and stressful situation. The death of this gentleman's wife is not enough to say that he may be depressed, but this gentleman has difficulty sleeping, lack of courage to bathe and eat, and is having difficulty remembering to take his medicine. These symptoms may be related to the onset of a depressive condition, so it would be appropriate for a nursing staff to consult this client for further evaluation and treatment of suspected depression.

vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I have. It made me feel sad and honestly a bit annoyed but if I stopped giving, there would be nothing left. A healthy relationship I have is with my dad. I know that no matter what happens in life, he will be by my side. He might not agree with my choices, but he will always love me. He has proved that time and time again. It makes me very happy to know that I have him to talk to about anything. It makes me feel more happy and content than I could describe. It's important to have a life outside of that relationship because if I spend all my time focusing on that relationship, I will never have time to focus on anything else. Interdependence means to be dependent on each other, and it's a good thing because if somebody needs you, you can always count on them to be there when you need them.
