The nurse is preparing discharge plans for a hospitalized client who attempted suicide. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan as an immediate resource?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Crisis times may occur between appointments. Contracts facilitate a client's feeling of responsibility for keeping a promise, which gives him or her control. Providing phone numbers will not ensure available and immediate crisis intervention. Family and friends cannot always be present.
