Question 1 of 5
A nurse is making a home visit for a 16-year-old adolescent who attempted suicide. Which of the following behaviors should alert the nurse that the adolescent still has suicidal intent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer, indicated as B.
Rationale: Telling parents not to talk about the attempt may reflect withdrawal or denial but does not necessarily indicate ongoing suicidal intent. Giving away personal possessions, such as a CD collection, is a common behavior in adolescents with suicidal intent, as they may believe they won't need these items in the future. Wanting to spend more time with peers than parents could indicate normal adolescent development, rather than a sign of suicidal intent. Preferring to eat meals while watching TV is not a concerning behavior in the context of suicide risk.
