Question 1 of 5
A nurse on an inpatient mental health unit is assisting with the admission of a client who reports feeling depressed, sad, moody, and overly anxious. Which of the following assessments should the nurse make first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Choice B is correct because suicide risk is the most urgent assessment for a client reporting depression and anxiety. It indicates the client’s level of hopelessness and intent to harm themselves, requiring immediate intervention to ensure safety.
Choice A (psychiatric history) provides background but isn’t urgent.
Choices C and D (support systems, coping abilities) are secondary to ensuring safety.
