Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a mental health unit is planning care for a client who has a new diagnosis of non-suicidal self-harm (NSSH). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Encouraging the client to identify the emotions they feel before self-harming helps in understanding triggers and developing healthier coping mechanisms. This intervention promotes self-awareness and emotional regulation, which are crucial in managing NSSH.
Choice A is incorrect as self-harm behaviors can increase the risk of accidental death.
Choice B is incorrect as self-harm can indeed escalate into a serious problem.
Choice D is incorrect as NSSH does not necessarily indicate overt suicidal intent; placing the client in one-on-one observation may not be appropriate.
