The advanced practice nurse is caring for a patient in an outpatient clinic who has expressed ...

The advanced practice nurse is caring for a patient in an outpatient clinic who has expressed thoughts of suicide, but who does not have a plan or means in place. The patient tells the nurse, "I sometimes think it would be easier for me to just go to sleep and never wake up. But I don't hurt myself because I love my children too much." Which nursing interventions are most appropriate for this patient? Select all that apply.
1. Place the patient on constant observation for safety.
2. Teach the use of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
3. Admit the patient to the behavioral health hospital immediately.
4. Encourage the patient to use internal and external support systems.
5. Be aware that the patient is likely to reject any attempt at intervention, including teaching.
