(Select All That Apply): A client has expressed thoughts of suicide during a therapy session. Which therapeutic interventions should the nurse incorporate into the client's care plan? (Select three.).

Choice A rationale:

The nursing diagnosis "Impaired coping" signifies that the client is experiencing difficulty in dealing with stressors and challenges. While it's true that impaired coping can contribute to various negative outcomes, the most critical concern when dealing with a client diagnosed with impaired coping and suicidal ideation is the risk of self-inflicted harm, which aligns with choice A. Clients with impaired coping and suicidal ideation are at a heightened risk for engaging in self-destructive behaviors, including attempts at self-inflicted, life-threatening injury. This choice is the most relevant and urgent, as it directly addresses the potential harm the client may cause to themselves due to their impaired coping skills.

Choice B rationale:

Although feelings of aloneness can contribute to psychological distress and could potentially be relevant to the client's situation, choice B does not directly address the immediate risk of self-inflicted injury associated with impaired coping and suicidal ideation. The focus in this case should be on the client's safety and preventing self-harm.

Choice C rationale:

This choice accurately describes one aspect of impaired coping but does not specifically address the increased risk of self-inflicted harm or the severity of the situation presented in the question. While impaired coping does involve the inability to use appropriate skills to manage stressors, the urgency of addressing the immediate risk of self-inflicted injury takes precedence in this scenario.

Choice D rationale:

Negative self-evaluation may contribute to impaired coping, but the question specifically relates to the client's risk for self-inflicted, life-threatening injury. While negative self-evaluation could be part of the client's overall presentation, it's not the most direct or urgent concern in this situation.

The client has a subjective state with limited personal choices.

Choice A rationale:

The client is at risk for self-inflicted, life-threatening injury. This choice does not accurately define the nursing diagnosis of "Hopelessness." While it is true that hopelessness can lead to self-harm or suicide, the nursing diagnosis focuses on the client's emotional state and personal choices rather than the immediate risk of injury.

Choice B rationale:

The client has a subjective state with limited personal choices. This choice accurately defines the nursing diagnosis of "Hopelessness." Hopelessness refers to the client's emotional state of feeling devoid of hope, often resulting in a perceived lack of personal choices and options. This sense of hopelessness can contribute to feelings of despair and potentially suicidal ideation.

Choice C rationale:

The client is unable to cope with stressors. This choice is not the most accurate definition of "Hopelessness." While hopelessness can certainly impact a client's ability to cope with stressors, the primary focus of the diagnosis is on the subjective emotional state and perceived lack of choices, rather than their coping abilities.

Choice D rationale:

The client experiences compromised family coping. This choice is not directly related to the nursing diagnosis of "Hopelessness." Family coping refers to how a family unit manages stressors together, whereas hopelessness pertains to an individual's emotional state and perceived choices.
