A school nurse is planning a presentation about identifying potential warning signs of suicide for high school students. Which of the following examples of behaviors should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Chronic confusion r/t ECT treatment. Memory impairment may occur but is not the immediate priority.

B. Activity intolerance r/t weakness. Weakness can occur but is not the most urgent concern post-ECT.

C. Impaired social interaction r/t confusion. Social interaction is a lower priority compared to physical safety.

D. Risk for injury r/t altered mental status. Post-ECT, clients may be confused or disoriented, increasing their risk of falls or injury. Ensuring safety is the top priority.

A. To ensure that the medication is covered by insurance: Insurance coverage is not related to black box warnings.

B. To inform healthcare providers and consumers of potentially dangerous side effects: A black box warning is the strongest safety warning issued by the FDA, highlighting serious, potentially life-threatening risks of a medication.

C. To indicate that the medication is safe for all individuals to use: A black box warning indicates increased risks, not universal safety.

D. To promote the use of the medication for off-label purposes: Black box warnings do not encourage off-label use; they warn against potential dangers.
