During a discussion group on the psychiatric unit, a female client suddenly becomes upset and leaves the group, yelling, "Everyone here hates me!" What should the nurse do?

It is most therapeutic to talk with this client privately about her feelings, after discussion group. A suspicious client is not likely to share her feelings in a group setting. Discussing any client's situation with another client is a strict violation of a client's privacy. The other clients have no reason to apologize.
