Question 1 of 5

The nurse is leading a crisis intervention group comprising high school students who have experienced the recent death of a classmate who committed suicide. The students are experiencing disbelief as they review the details of the suicide. Which should be the initial therapeutic action by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: It is essential to determine the students' views. Inquiring about the students' perception of the suicide will specifically identify the appraisal of the suicide and the meaning of the perception. Although option 1 is exploratory, it does not address the 'here-and-now' appraisal in terms of the classmate's suicide. Although the nurse is interested in how students have coped in the past, this inquiry should not be the most immediate assessment. Options 2 and 4 are attempts to foster students' self-esteem. Such an approach is premature at this point.
