Answer to Question 1

The most effective way to interrupt a suicide attempt is to carefully, unobtrusively observe on the basis of assessed data at varied intervals around the clock. If a nurse observes behavior that indicates self-harm, the nurse can intervene to stop the behavior and keep the client safe.

B
Feedback: Pancreatitis can cause elevated serum glucose levels. Answers A, C, and D would not be included in the plan of care for a client with pancreatitis.
