A nurse is reviewing the psych social assessments of four older adult residents in an assisted-living facility. Which resident should the nurse identify as having the highest suicide risk?

A. An 82-year-old male with a recent spouse death who says, "There's nothing left for me now" and has given away personal items: This client demonstrates multiple red flags for suicide, including recent bereavement, hopelessness, and giving away possessions, which is a strong indicator of suicidal intent. B. A 75-year-old female who has chronic arthritis and reports feeling isolated after her sister moved away: While chronic pain and social isolation increase vulnerability to depression, there are no explicit signs of suicidal planning or intent. C. A 79-year-old male recently diagnosed with diabetes who expresses concern about managing medications: This client shows normal adjustment stress related to a new chronic illness but does not express suicidal thoughts, or behaviors suggestive of imminent risk. D. An 80-year-old female with vision loss who attends group activities but occasionally cries during them: This client may be grieving and experiencing situational sadness due to sensory loss, but her engagement in group activities suggests coping and resilience.
