Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient's statement suggests a need for assistance in managing multiple issues. The problem-solving group would be helpful for the patient to learn techniques to prioritize and work through their challenges. The other options (social skills, psychodrama, and medication information) do not directly address the patient's stated need for coping with overwhelming issues.
