During an Admission Assessment of an Adolescent Client, the Nurse

During an admission assessment of an adolescent client, the nurse inquires about friends or peer groups. The adolescent smiles and jokingly tells the nurse that "I consider myself a loner and I don't need any friends." The nurse's next action is to:

A) Document this in the admission assessment.
B) Ask the client how he/she gets along in school.
C) Ask the client to explain why he/she feels this way.
D) Encourage exploration of feelings.
