Rationale 2: Advice about medications is not within nurses' scope of practice, since they do not prescribe.
Rationale 3: Comparing this client's situation to her mother's is neither relevant nor therapeutic. Her mother's age group was going through experiences in a different time and culture.

These clients may benefit from support groups or individual therapy to help them cope with specific crises.
