  • Card 10 / 14:
    Usually someone is hospitalized only if they are an imminent threat to themselves or others. Describe a situation that might meet these criteria.

    Frank is severely depressed. He lost his job one year ago and has not been able to find another one. A few months after losing his job, his home was foreclosed and his wife left him. Lately, he has been thinking that he would be better off dead. He’s begun giving his possessions away and has purchased a handgun. He plans to kill himself on what would have been his 20th wedding anniversary, which is coming up in a few weeks.
