Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse can reduce the risk of suicide attempts by having the client sign a written no-suicide contract. Most therapists agree that when clients readily agree to not harm themselves during a prescribed period, risk is decreased. Often such contracts are written and signed, and the clients are assured they have someone to call if they cannot bear it alone.

Answer to Question 2

C
