When using the SAD FACES depression screen, it is important to assess:
 
  1. Anhedonia.
   2. Suicidal ideations.
   3. Sleep patterns.
   4. All of the above

Question 2

Charlie is 17 years old. He comes to the ER because of a motor vehicle accident. The staff asks Charlie for the contact information for his guardian/parents in order to obtain informed consent for a procedure.
 
  Charlie states that he is an emancipated minor. The nurse knows this will mean: 1. Charlie will require consent from a guardian prior to a procedure.
   2. Charlie will need the permission of the court prior to the procedure.
   3. Charlie is legally eligible to give consent because of his status.
   4. Consent is not needed in an emergency situation.
