Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has antisocial personality disorder and reports planning to hurt their partner upon discharge. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Report the information to local authorities. This action is necessary to ensure the safety of the client's partner and prevent any harm. As a nurse, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being of all individuals involved and take necessary steps to protect them from harm. Reporting to local authorities allows for immediate intervention and protection for the potential victim.

Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Keeping the client longer at the facility may not address the immediate risk to the partner.
B: Confidentiality is important, but the duty to protect potential victims outweighs it in this situation.
C: While telling risk management is a good practice, the urgency of the situation requires immediate action by reporting to authorities.
