Question 1 of 5
An elderly male client is hospitalized immediately after attempting suicide. Which of the following is implemented as a suicide precaution?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Facilitate time alone for the client. Allowing time alone is not appropriate for a suicidal client as it increases the risk of self-harm. Make a no self-harm contract. A no self-harm contract can be part of a suicide prevention plan, where the client agrees to not harm themselves and to seek help if they feel the urge to do so. Administer antianxiety medication: While medication can help with anxiety, it is not a primary intervention for immediate suicide prevention. Prevent family/friend visitation for 48 hours: Preventing visitation can increase feelings of isolation and is not an appropriate intervention for suicide prevention.
