Title: A 79-year-old white male tells a nurse, "I have felt very sad lately. I do not have much to live for
Post by: new-york-er on Oct 21, 2015
A 79-year-old white male tells a nurse, "I have felt very sad lately. I do not have much to live for. My family and friends are all dead, and my own health is failing." The nurse should analyze this comment as:
a.   normal pessimism of the elderly.   c.   a call for sympathy.
b.   evidence of risks for suicide.   d.   normal grieving.
