International Emergency Nursing, 08/20/08
Clarke DE et al. - Although the suicide literature is vast, and risk factor research has a long history, there is a dearth of articles that address the “point of care” factors that need to be considered in triaging a suicidal patient. In order to address this dilemma for nurses performing the triage function, this paper is a targeted review of the suicide risk factor literature designed to discern factors that may have implications for making a triage determination with the intent of improving the accuracy and quality of triage for suicidal patients. Contextual and compositional factors suggesting long-term risk; situational, precipitating, factors that may impact one’s immediate risk; and cues and clues to imminent risk are presented along with evidence-based suggestions for assessment and safety.
