The client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder who is to be discharged soon threatens to “do something” to herself if discharged. The nurse should first:
1. Request that the client's discharge be canceled.
2. Ignore the client's statement because it's a sign of manipulation.
3. Ask a family member to stay with the client at home temporarily.
4. Discuss the meaning of the client's statement with her.
