مريضة عمرها ٢٨ سنة عندها اكتئاب شديد، صارت فجأة هادية ومبتسمة بعد أسبوعين من العلاج، ووزعت أغراضها على المرضى. ما أولوية الممرضة؟

A 28-year-old woman with severe depression becomes suddenly calm and smiling two weeks into treatment and gives her belongings to other patients. What is the nurse’s priority?

1. Praise the change and reduce observation
2. Encourage her to join group activities today
3. Ask her directly about suicidal thoughts and a plan
4. Record the improvement and suggest discharge

Answer: C) Ask her directly about suicidal thoughts and a plan. Sudden calm and giving things away after treatment starts are suicide warning signs, since returning energy may allow a plan to be acted on; asking directly does not raise risk.
