A staff nurse tells another nurse, I just used the SAD PERSONS scale to evaluate a man who sometimes thinks about suicide; his score was 8 . I'm wondering if I should send him home after arranging for follow-up..
 
  The best reply by the second nurse would be: a. That would seem appropriate, but I'd consult the on-call resident first..
  b. Be sure he is followed up closely; he may require hospitalization later on..
  c. I think you should consider hospitalization just to be safe..
  d. A score of 7 or higher usually requires immediate hospitalization..
