A nurse has been caring for a 12-year-old adolescent client in a residential facility. The child has been through a series of foster placements since infancy with no success in any placement until the age of 7 when placed with a middle-aged single woman. The client thrived there until the woman was killed in a car accident. The client attempted suicide after her foster mother died in response to the loss and the child was placed in the residential facility. The nurse has become close to this client and wants to help her address her issues and move on with her life. Which of the following comments to the manager demonstrates that the nurse understands the client's issues and is able to respond appropriately to the client's needs?

1.  “It's difficult for her to love and trust again after her losses. In this facility, she can learn to deal with her loss in a less emotionally charged environment than a foster home.”

2. “She just needs someone who will love her and give her the things she has missed out on in life. An adoptive family needs to be found for her as soon as possible.”

3. “I'm not sure she is going to be able to get past all the loss and rejection she's experienced. I don't think adoption will ever be a viable option for her.”

4. “I know her well and am familiar with her issues. I think the best chance for success for her would be if she was adopted into my family.”
