A grandson who calls the crisis center expressing concern about his grandmother, who lost her husband a month ago, states, “She has been in bed for a week and is not eating or showering. She told me that she did not want to kill herself, but it's not like her to do nothing for herself. She won't even talk to me when I visit her.” The nurse encourages the grandson to bring his grandmother to the center for evaluation based on which of the following reasons?

1. The behaviors may reflect passive suicidal thoughts.

2. The behaviors reflect altered role performance.

3. Seeing the grandson and grandmother together will be helpful.

4. Refusing to talk to the grandson alone indicates a major problem.
