Question 1 of 5

A school nurse is speaking to the mother of a 16-year-old male adolescent. The mother has concerns about her son. Which of the following statements by the mother should indicate to the nurse that the adolescent is at risk for suicide?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A


Rationale: The statement "His favorite teacher committed suicide a few weeks ago" indicates exposure to suicide, which is a risk factor for suicidal behavior. This experience can trigger feelings of hopelessness and increase the risk of suicide in adolescents. The mother's concern in this context is valid and should be taken seriously.

Summary:
B: Sleeping 9 hours each night for the past 2 years is not a direct indicator of suicide risk. While changes in sleep patterns can be a sign of depression, it is not as specific as exposure to suicide.
C: Being religious and attending services twice a week is not necessarily an indicator of suicide risk. Religious beliefs can provide comfort and support.
D: Spending time with friends is generally a positive sign of social connectedness, which can be protective against suicide.
