The Major Rationale for Careful Ongoing Assessment of a Patient

The major rationale for careful ongoing assessment of a patient with adjustment disorder is:

A) Characteristic symptoms abate but take at least 6 months to do so.
B) The disorder may be a precursor to a more serious mental health problem.
C) Practitioners become less discerning as they become more familiar with the patient.
D) Patients with adjustment disorders have a high risk for self-harm, especially suicide.
