Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has severe depression following the loss of her spouse. When identifying client goals, which of the following goals should the nurse identify as the highest priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer, indicated as B.
Rationale: Identifying positive qualities about oneself is important but is not the immediate priority in someone at risk for self-harm. Contacting a staff member when the client feels she might hurt herself is the priority, as it directly addresses the risk of harm and safety. Identifying a reachable goal for the future is important but secondary to addressing immediate safety concerns. Identifying her position in the grief process can be helpful but does not address the most immediate concern, which is her safety.
