The parents of a client who committed suicide are observed arguing in the emergency department waiting area. The nurse realizes the parents are at risk for developing:
1. Situational Low Self-Esteem
2. Anxiety
3. Risk for Violence
4. Ineffective Coping
4. Ineffective Coping
Rationale:
Since the client committed suicide, the parents of the client become the nurse's clients. The parents are observed arguing in the waiting room, which would indicate ineffective coping. There is no way to determine if the parents are experiencing situational low self-esteem. The parents are probably experiencing anxiety; however, ineffective coping is the priority. There is no way of knowing if the parents are at risk for violence.
