Extract:


Question 1 of 5

Susan,the nurse is caring for a client who states "I plan to commit suicide." Which of the following assessments should the nurse identify as the priority?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Assessing the lethality of the method and availability of means is the priority because it directly addresses the immediate risk of harm to the client. This assessment helps determine the potential for the client to carry out the suicidal plan.

Choices B, C, and D are important assessments but are not as urgent as determining the immediate danger of the client harming themselves. B focuses on background information, C on insight, and D on social support, which are valuable for understanding the client's overall situation but do not address the imminent risk of suicide.
Therefore, prioritizing the assessment of lethality and means is crucial in ensuring the client's safety.
