Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although evaluation of the client's level of depression and social support systems is important, the assessment of the risk for self-inflicted injury or suicide is critical. The client has experienced both physical and emotional trauma, placing the client at high risk for self-harm. The client's financial status is irrelevant.
