A nurse in a psychiatric unit is caring for several clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse recommend for group therapy?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: A client who has been taking amitriptyline for 3 months for depression. Group therapy is helpful for individuals with similar experiences, such as depression. This client is stable on medication, making them suitable for group therapy. Choice A should be avoided as psychotic behavior may disrupt the group. Choice C is inappropriate due to the client's intoxication. Choice D is not ideal as the client is in an acute state.
