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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Planning to give his CD collection to his girlfriend. This behavior indicates the adolescent is making future plans involving giving away possessions, which could be a sign of continued suicidal ideation. Giving away prized possessions is often seen as a way of saying goodbye or preparing for death.

Choices A, B, and C do not necessarily indicate ongoing suicidal intent. A may suggest avoidance, B may indicate a desire for peer support, and C may be a personal preference.
Therefore, D is the most concerning behavior that warrants immediate attention.
