When dealing with an at-risk person, the recommended action is to notify supervisor and seek mental health resources.

• A. Ignore
• B. Notify Only
• C. Document
• D. Notify Supervisor and Seek Mental Health Resources

Answer: (D)

When someone is at risk, the priority is to escalate appropriately and bring in professional help to ensure safety and proper care. Notifying a supervisor ensures the situation is handled within the proper chain of command and that any immediate safety steps or workplace procedures are followed. Seeking mental health resources brings in trained professionals who can assess risk, provide intervention, and connect the person with appropriate support. Together, these actions address both immediate safety and the person’s long-term well-being.

Simply ignoring the situation is unsafe and violates duty of care. Notifying only may alert leadership but misses the crucial step of engaging mental health professionals who can assess and intervene. Documenting is important for records, but without notifying the supervisor and securing mental health resources, the risk remains unaddressed and unsafe.
