    A nurse is assisting with planning of care for a client following a suicide attempt. Which of the following interventions is an appropriate suicide precaution?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Assigning a private room may increase isolation, which is not conducive to a therapeutic environment. B. Tucking bedcovers over the client’s hands and arms could be a restrictive action, not appropriate for suicide prevention. C. Removing utensils is not necessary unless the client has direct access to harmful objects. D. Inspecting personal belongings ensures that the client does not have items that could be used for self-harm, which is a key suicide precaution.
