A new client has just been admitted to an adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit. the charge nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (uap) are discussing the client's needs. the uap says, "she is just showing off to try and get our sympathy. there is no need for her to cut herself. why would adolescents want to do such a thing to themselves?" what response by the charge nurse would most help the uap understand the client and her illness?

The charge nurse should inform the Unlicensed assistive personnel that they should understand the client and not to judge his or her actions as Mood Swings are common during adolescence yet one out of 5 may have depression and so maybe is the client. The people surrounding the client should build empathy and comfort to the client for him or her to feel the support and avoid further depression leading to killing one's self.
