Answer to Question 1

A
Mental health professionals working with clients who have psychiatric problems or drug abuse problems have an obligation to arrange for continuing care and follow-up of the client. Clinicians make an implicit contract with their clients at the time of initiating care that they will provide continuing service. Continuing care after discharge implies referral to an appropriate outpatient facility.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most therapeutic nursing intervention is to address the immediate threat of harm. By notifying hospital security the situation can be managed by individuals trained to do so effectively.
