Q1. Suicide Intervention
During a suicide intervention with your 28-year-old male patient, to which
agreement should you ask for his consent, verbally or in writing?
**A)** “No Harm” contract
**B)** “No Suicide” contract
**C)** “Prevention” Contract
**D)** “Affirming Life” contract
**Answer:** B. “No Suicide” contract
**Rationale:** A "No Suicide" contract (also called a safety contract) is a standard
tool in suicide prevention. It involves the patient agreeing not to harm
themselves and to contact the provider or crisis services if suicidal urges return.
While current best practices emphasize safety planning over contracts, the "No
Suicide" contract is the term recognized in this context.
