Answer to Question 1

B
The treatment plan must first address the goal of protecting the patient from self-harm, and no threat of suicide should be ignored, even if no attempt has occurred. Admission is the most appropriate action in this case. The remaining goals do not adequately address the patient's risk for self-harm.

Answer to Question 2

F
