2. Risk for Other-Directed Violence

Rationale:
The client had a handgun in a pants pocket that could have been used on others in the client's environment. The diagnosis of risk for other-directed violence is appropriate for this client. There is not enough information to determine whether or not the client has a self-esteem disturbance, is afraid, or is at risk for loneliness.
