ATI nsg 133 Mental Health Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client commits suicide in an acute mental health facility. Which of the following is the priority intervention for staff on the unit as a follow-up to this incident?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Provide professional counseling for staff members. After a client suicide, staff members may experience emotional distress, guilt, and burnout. Providing professional counseling helps them process their emotions, prevent vicarious trauma, and maintain their well-being. This intervention is crucial to ensure staff can continue to provide high-quality care to other clients.

Choice A (Give the family an opportunity to talk about their feelings) is important but not the priority.
Choice B (Investigate and identify cues in the client's behavior) should be done but is not the immediate priority for staff well-being.
Choice D (Change policies for staff observation) may be necessary in the long term but not the priority after a client suicide.
