Passage / Scenario
A 15-year-old whose friend has mentioned suicide.Which statement by the nurse is most appropriate to a 15-year-old whose friend has mentioned suicide?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because it emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and the need for immediate intervention. This response acknowledges the urgency of the situation and the potential risk of harm to the friend. Choice B is not as urgent as it suggests coming to the clinic immediately without considering the severity of the situation. Choice C is vague and lacks a sense of urgency in addressing the potential risk of suicide. Choice D focuses on gathering details rather than prioritizing getting help for the friend. It is crucial to prioritize immediate help and support in such situations to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual at risk.
