Answer to Question 1

B
Approximately two thirds of depressed people contemplate suicide. Depressed clients who exhibit
feelings of worthlessness are at higher risk. Regular planned observations of the depressed client
may prevent a suicide attempt on the unit.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Accommodation involves including neutral health practices in the client's plan of care. A diet that
addresses correcting yin and yang imbalance would probably be psychologically helpful and would
not be likely to interfere with Western medical treatment with selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors. Options A and C are not relevant to accommodation of diverse cultural health practices.
Option B would be more related to restructuring.
