What should the population health nurse recommend to prevent suicide clusters and copycat murders in a community?
1. Assist family members who are affected work through feelings of guilt and grief.
2. Advocate for services to address victims and perpetrators of violence.
3. Assist in developing community response plans to these events.
4. Reduce the sources that contribute to suicide or homicide.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. A population oriented strategy to prevent suicide clusters and copycat murders is to have a community response plan. In addition, media exposure to these events can be controlled. Assisting family members and reducing sources that contribute to suicide and homicide address other prevention goals. Advocating for available services for victims and perpetrators of violence is not considered preventing suicide clusters and copycat murders, but a treatment of the consequences of violence.
