Question 2
A teenage boy was hospitalized 3 weeks ago. He has been confined to bed throughout his hospital stay because of a crushed pelvis.
His parents tell the nurse, Our son is just staring off into space; he won't talk to us. We are worried because he has not even listened to his iPod, watched television, or played his video games for 2 days. That is so unlike him. What is the best response the nurse can make?
a. I will inform his doctor and see whether we can get your son started on an antidepressant medication.
b. He is at a critical time in his life; teens are often moody, and being in the hospital with an injury will only make that worse.
c. Your son had a major injury, and his immobility might be causing him to feel isolated and depressed.
d. He is bored because he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks; I'll try to find something new for him to do.
