Using Peplau's theory, when a client has resolved his or her initial suicidal crisis, the nurse in an acute care setting will terminate the relationship, ensuring that the client has a support system. The client should be able to identify when help is needed and from which resources (support system) from this help can be obtained. Because the nurse-client relationship is a professional relationship, the nurse ethically should not continue to be involved with the client in a nonprofessional manner.
