A nurse is performing a targeted screening assessment for a 45-year-old client during a routine wellness visit. The client reports being constantly tired and having difficulty concentrating. Which screening tool is the most appropriate for the nurse to use?
The correct answer is the one that identifies a screening tool specifically designed to assess symptoms of depression, as constant fatigue and difficulty concentrating are common indicators of depression. While other tools listed may be useful in specific contexts, they do not directly address the symptoms described in this case, and using them would not provide the necessary focus for accurate assessment.
