A member of a nurse-led group for depressed adolescents tells the group that she is not coming back because she is taking medication and no longer needs to talk about her problems. Which of the following responses by the nurse is most appropriate?

1. “I'm glad that you are taking your medication, but how can we know that you will continue to take it? After all, you haven't been on it for very long and you might decide to stop taking it.”

2. “I think that it is important to let everyone respond to what you said, so let's go around the group and let everyone give their thoughts about what you have decided.”

3. “The purpose of the group is to provide each of you with a place to discuss the problems of being a teenager with depression with others who also are experiencing a similar situation.”

4. “You don't have to stay in the group if you don't want to, but if you choose to leave, then you won't be able to change your mind later and return to the group.”
