- Suicide Attempt, Self-inflicted Injury
- Client attempted to scratch arm on door frame and get to outlets in the dayroom. Once taken to the comfort room, client attempted to choke herself with her hands, and began digging her nails into her skin to “get to the vein.” Upon assessment, small circular breaks in the skin were noted from client’s fingernails, with redness and minimal bleeding. Client was placed on suicide and self-harm precautions and placed in paper scrubs.
- Licensing follow-up: Facility visited on 11/23/22 and camera footage reviewed. Licensing also checked the door frame and felt no rough edges when rubbing hand and wrist across the rounded screws. No licensing concerns noted.
