Answer to Question 1

D
This response gives the client reinforcement and validation for making a positive response rather
than acting out the suicidal impulse. It gives neither advice nor false reassurance, and it does not
imply stereotypes such as You have a lot to live for.. It uses the client's ambivalence and sets the
stage for more realistic problem solving.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client's clouded sensorium, sensory perceptual distortions, and poor judgment put him at risk
for injury. The scenario does not provide data to support the other diagnoses.
