A suicidal client tells the nurse, There's no other way out for me. I have so many problems that there's nothing to do but cash it in. Which statement by the nurse would be a helpful approach?
 
  1. I can see that things are bad. It's good you recognized your limitations.
  2. Let's look at the problem you consider most urgent to see if there's a solution.
  3. We'll begin problem solving together as soon as you stop feeling suicidal.
  4. Your thinking is depressed. We can teach you to think differently.

ANS: 2
Option 2 is correct because the most effective intervention is to help the client prioritize problems and work on them one at a time. Option 1 is incorrect, since it affirms the negative, and option 3 is incorrect, since it places unrealistic demands on the client. Option 4 does not deal with the cli-ent's statement about problems.
