Depressive Disorders: Priority findings to share with treatment team
****** Monitor both a depressed client and a client who has recently been prescribed an antidepressant
medication closely for signs of suicidal ideation. If the client presents with increased energy, monitor
closely because it could mean that the client now has the energy to perform the suicide act‼‼
Assess the client’s risk for suicide and implement appropriate safety precautions.
Self-care: Monitor the client’s ability to perform activities of daily living and encourage
independence as much as possible.
Communication: Make observations rather than asking direct questions, which can cause anxiety in
the client. For example, the nurse might say, “I noticed that you attended the unit group meeting
today,” rather than asking, “Did you enjoy the group meeting
