The statement "I'll walk with you to the day room. Group is about to start" is the best choice as it shows support and encouragement for the client to attend the group. It also gives the client a sense of structure and routine, which can be beneficial for individuals with depression. Option A assumes the client will eventually be ready for the group, while Option C sympathizes with the client's feelings of hopelessness. Option D may be effective for some clients, but for an isolative client who is resistant to attending group, walking with them to the day room is more likely to be effective.
