Answer 1

The following nursing interventions are important for the next few days:
1. Discussing effectively way to express justifiable anger.
2. Identifying community groups for relatives of military personnel.
3. Strategizing about ways to increase a personal sense of security.
These steps will ensure that the patient put his anger in the correct perspective and make no other effort to kill himself.
