Answer to Question 1

A, B, F
Rationale: One-on-one observation is necessary for anyone who has limited control over suicidal
impulses. Plastic dishes on trays and the removal of potentially harmful objects from the client's
possession are measures included in any level suicide precautions. The other options are seen in less
stringent levels of suicide precautions.

A, C, D
Rationale: Option A: Knowledge reduces anxiety and allows the client to understand options and
make appropriate decisions. Option C: Self-assessment of mood and emotions allows the client to
seek help if depression or anxiety occur. Option D: Good health practices promote general health, a
sense of well-being, and a healthy immune system. Option B: Expressing feelings by sharing them
