You have an adolescent client that has suddenly withdrawn from group interactions. In the initial interview he denied any suicide attempts. Records show there have been suicide attempts in the past. What are the two most appropriate options?
  1. Call the parents immediately.
  2. Call a group meeting and confront him with past suicide attempts.
  3. Schedule an interview and express concerns, continue with crisis intervention stages.
  4. Flag the file as suicide watch, report concerns at staff meeting.
Explanation
Answer: C & D - These two options begin the stages of crisis intervention. To call the parents or institute a group confrontation might not be appropriate at this time. The cohesiveness so important in treatment might suffer negatively. The steps just initiated should cover all the bases at this time.
