Answer to Question 1

Assertiveness training assists people to maintain their own self-respect and meet their needs while respecting the rights of others.

The nurse should first assess the client for current suicidal thoughts to minimize risk of harm and provide appropriate interventions. A suicidal client is experiencing a psychiatric emergency. The crisis team should prioritize safety by assessing the client for thoughts of self-harm.
