- Suicide Attempt
- Client picked and scratched at her arms with her nails, then ripped off a piece of her shirt and wrapped it around her neck. Staff intervened and removed object; Reddened area noted to client’s neck. Client admitted she wanted to hurt herself and agreed to wear paper scrubs. Client scored high on C-SSRS and will be on suicide precautions x 7 days.
- Licensing follow-up: Facility visited on 12/29/22. Licensing inquired why the client was not assessed for self-harm if she was considered “high risk”; DON reported that the attempts were believed to be client’s response after she was unable to reach her parents on the phone during the holidays. Once the client was able to reach her parents, she has not had another self-harm event.
