Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with planning of care for a client following a suicide attempt. Which of the following interventions is an appropriate suicide precaution?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Inspect the client's personal belongings. Inspecting the client's personal belongings helps to ensure that the client does not have access to items that could be used for self-harm, such as sharp objects or medications. Assign the client to a private room. Assigning a client who has attempted suicide to a private room can increase isolation and the risk of self-harm, as they are not easily observed. Tuck bedcovers over client's hands and arms. This intervention is not effective and could potentially restrict the client's movement, increasing feelings of distress. Remove utensils from the client's meal trays. Removing utensils, especially sharp ones, from meal trays helps to prevent the client from using them to harm themselves.
