Question Answered step-by-step respond to the post.Three common and expected emotional reactions that a nurse might have when initially working with persons who manifest suicidal behavior disorder may be distancing themselves in order to protect themselves from emotional discomfort, sensitive and alert in order to pick up on signs of self harm, or empathetic/sympathetic by acknowledging that it is important to be close but prevents themselves from becoming too emotionally close to the patients by balancing emotional involvement and professional distance. Actions and nursing interventions that can be taken to keep the patient safe involve performing neurological assessment, initiating one on one monitoring at arms length, avoiding leaving client unattended for any reason, creating a safe environment by removing potential weapons or objects that may inflict harm, encouraging the client to discuss feelings, emotions, fears, and anxieties and alternative ways to cope with those feelings, emphasizing resiliency with they client to understand their situation, and assessing for signs that the client has a plan to commit suicide.  Health Science Science Nursing PNE 158 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
