A female patient expresses anger about her recent divorce.

What is the most appropriate response from the healthcare provider?

Choice A rationale
According to various studies, white adolescent males who have expressed intentions to die are at the highest risk for suicide. This group has been found to have higher suicide rates compared to other racial and age groups.
Choice B rationale
While African American males who have expressed intentions to die are also at risk for suicide, the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males.
Choice C rationale
Asian adolescent males who have expressed intentions to die also face a risk of suicide, but again, the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males.
Choice D rationale
Hispanic American males who have expressed intentions to die are at risk for suicide, but the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males.

Choice A rationale
A therapeutic area refers to a specific location or setting where therapeutic activities or treatments occur. However, it doesn’t necessarily imply a comprehensive environment designed to assist patients in replacing inappropriate behaviors with more effective personal and psychosocial skills.
Choice B rationale
A therapeutic environment, also known as a therapeutic milieu, is a broad term that describes settings designed to help patients replace inappropriate behaviors with more effective personal and psychosocial skills.
Choice C rationale
A therapeutic unit could refer to a specific department or team within a healthcare facility that provides therapeutic services. However, it doesn’t necessarily denote an environment designed for behavioral and psychosocial skill development.
Choice D rationale
A therapeutic setting could refer to any location where therapeutic services are provided. It’s a more general term and doesn’t specifically denote an environment designed to help patients replace inappropriate behaviors with more effective personal and psychosocial skills.
