An adolescent following a suicide attempt
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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Previous suicide attempt. This is the priority risk factor for suicide completion because individuals who have previously attempted suicide are at a significantly higher risk of completing suicide compared to those who have not attempted. This indicates a higher level of intent and a potential lack of effective coping mechanisms. Loss of a parent (
A) can be a risk factor, but previous attempt is more immediate. History of substance abuse (
B) and active psychiatric disorder (
D) are important risk factors but may not indicate imminent risk as much as a previous attempt.
