Suicide Risk Assessment And Safety Planning Practice Test

In a behavioral health unit, a 19-year-old client admitted for suicidal ideation after failing college courses has a history of depression and migraines; no psychosis is noted. The client is calm but states, "I’ve been thinking about taking all my migraine pills," and reports they have the medication at home. The nurse collaborates with the client to develop a safety plan prior to discharge. The nurse should QUESTION which part of the client's safety plan?

At a community mental health clinic, a 30-year-old client with postpartum depression (6 weeks after delivery) and hypothyroidism reports poor sleep, guilt, and feeling overwhelmed. The client has a history of anxiety but no prior attempts; today they appear disheveled, avoid eye contact, and state, "Sometimes I think my baby would be safer without me." Which finding requires IMMEDIATE intervention by the nurse?
