A schizophrenic client attending a support group held by a clinic nurse says to the nurse and the group, "I’ve been laid off from my job at the factory, and so have 300 other people, so I’ll have to get a new job. For now, there’s unemployment." Which statement by the nurse would be most therapeutic at this time?

The question is incomplete and lack option statements but I found it on line. The correct answer is: D- Have other people in the group been feeling the job crunch this week? When changes like this occur, it's best to increase the number of your appointments with me for a short time."

Explanation:

The right option is basically open ended, which is encouraging the group to share their experiences, supporting them and teaching them about the need of increasing their appointments when stressful situation arises, and requires more consultation and counselling.

The clinic nurse might be heading a support group for schizophrenic clients, where it is important to cater every group member where possible and not single patients for the seek of special attention.
