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.
Rationale 4: Clients experiencing developmental stressors like menopause, the climacteric, aging, impending retirement, or any other situational stressors may experience anxiety and depression. These clients may benefit from support groups or individual therapy to help them cope with specific crises.
