An FNP friend called to consult you regarding a 15-year-old boy who was brought to the urgent care center by his parents after he told them that he wanted to kill himself. He says that he has been depressed for the last 3 months, “and I don’t see the point of living any longer if this is going to continue.” His parents state that they offered to buy him a car “in the hopes that it would make him snap out of it.” He missed the last week of school 2 months ago and has stayed to himself in his room, even though friends have tried to engage him in playing video games, his favorite hobby. He has lost about 5 pounds and rarely eats. Though he sleeps much of the day, he still has little energy. When asked about his mood, he starts crying and says, “I can’t stand this anymore. I want to die,” and voices a plan to shoot himself. His parents confirm that they have a gun in the house, but they have hidden it. Which of the following dispositions would be considered inappropriate given the situation and your assessment? Select all that apply.
