Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for an adolescent following a suicide attempt. After reviewing the client's history, the nurse should determine that which of the following is the priority risk factor for suicide completion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Previous suicide attempt. This is the priority risk factor because individuals who have previously attempted suicide are at a significantly higher risk of completing suicide compared to those who have not. This history indicates a serious underlying issue and immediate intervention is crucial to prevent a tragic outcome.
Choice B (Active psychiatric disorder) is a common risk factor for suicide, but a previous attempt is more indicative of imminent danger.
Choice C (Loss of a parent) is a contributing factor but not as immediate as a past attempt.
Choice D (History of substance abuse) is also a significant risk factor, but not as predictive of immediate harm as a previous attempt.
