Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has just learned that her partner has died by suicide. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because determining the client's understanding of the suicide events is the initial step in assessing the client's emotional state, coping mechanisms, and support needs. This information will guide the nurse in providing appropriate emotional support and interventions. Referring the client to a support group (
A) may be helpful in the future but is not the first step. Offering to contact the client's family (
B) assumes the client's readiness and may not be appropriate at this time. Informing the client of feelings of guilt (
C) may inadvertently trigger or worsen the client's emotional distress.
