مريض بمرض هنتنغتون متوسط، والعائلة قلقة لأنه صار منعزلاً ويتحدث عن أنه عبء. ما أهم إجراء؟

A client with moderate Huntington’s disease has become withdrawn and talks about being a burden, his family says. What is the most important action?

1. Give him a sleeping tablet to rest
2. Directly assess suicide risk
3. Reassure them this is a normal part of the disease
4. Increase social activities without assessment

Answer: B) Directly assess suicide risk. Suicide risk is high in Huntington’s disease, especially with depression and insight. Ask directly about self-harm thoughts and refer urgently for psychological support as indicated.
