Question

which patient statement about depression indicates to the nurse that further teaching is necessary?
\i am old; of course i am depressed.\
\people are more susceptible to depression when they get old.\
\i think that some medications have side effects that look like depression.\
\it can be a vicious cycle; illness leads to depression, which leads to illness.\

Explanation:

Depression is not an inevitable part of aging. Just being old does not mean one has to be depressed. The other statements are accurate - increased susceptibility with age, medication - related depression, and the illness - depression cycle.

Answer:

"I am old; of course I am depressed."
