NCLEX RN Exam Practice Practice Question
The nurse is caring for a client at risk for suicide. Which client behavior best indicates that the client may be contemplating suicide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If a client displays a suicidal ideation and is able to share a plan, it should be taken very seriously and suicide precautions should be implemented. Expressing happiness shows a contentment that is often a sign that a suicide plan has been created. The remaining options are indicative of depression but are not as definitive in regard to suicide.
