The most therapeutic caregiver intervention for a client with anger and aggression is which of the following?

A. Neglect: Neglect is characterized by the failure to meet the basic needs of an individual, including food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. The signs of depression, underweight, and poor personal hygiene are consistent with neglect.
B. Emotional abuse: Emotional abuse involves behaviors that harm an individual’s self-worth or emotional well-being, such as name-calling, shaming, or isolating. While emotional abuse could be present, the physical signs of underweight and poor hygiene point more towards neglect.
C. Physical abuse: Physical abuse involves causing physical harm through actions such as hitting, slapping, or burning. There are no direct signs of physical trauma mentioned in the scenario, making physical abuse less likely.
D. Exploitation: Exploitation involves taking advantage of an individual for personal gain, often financially. The scenario does not provide information about financial or other forms of exploitation.

A. Planning to give his CD collection to his girlfriend: Giving away prized possessions is a common warning sign of suicidal intent, indicating that the person is preparing for their absence.
B. Preferring to eat his meals while watching TV: This behavior is relatively normal and does not necessarily indicate suicidal intent.
C. Stating that he wants to be with his peers more than with his parents: Wanting to spend time with peers is typical for adolescents and does not specifically indicate suicidal intent.
D. Telling his parents that he doesn't want to talk about the attempt: Not wanting to discuss the attempt could be due to embarrassment, guilt, or other reasons, but it is not as direct an indicator of ongoing suicidal intent as giving away possessions.
