You are dispatched to a suicide attempt. You arrive to find a 16-year-old, who is extremely agitated and pacing up and down in the living room of his house. Apparently, he had threatened to go out, get a gun, and shoot himself. The parents called it in as an attempted suicide. The scene is safe and there are apparently no weapons accessible to the patient. Which of the following would NOT be appropriate in caring for this patient?
A) Do not isolate yourself from your partner or other sources of help.
B) Make certain the patient gets between you and the door. The patient should always feel he has an escape route.
C) Always be on the watch for weapons.
D) Do not take any action that may be considered threatening by the patient. To do so may bring about hostile behavior directed against you or others.
