Question and Guidance for best practices
Hi!
This thread always helps me feel better and gives great feedback.
I have a patient who recently went through psychosis due to a med change and has since been placed back on the medication they had switched. They report they are doing better which is great. For every client I always ask the standard safety questions about suicidal and homicidal thoughts. They have denied any suicidal or homicidal thoughts. Today when we met for a check in, they said “I know it’s your job to ask those questions, but I don’t think I’m strong enough to keep answering them.” I am now wondering is asking them these safety questions harmful? This is a patient in a SNF. Any feedback is great 💕
