You're both correct. But if someone came in suicidal and read something they didn't think was true about them without someone present to intervene in their behalf it could just could push them over the edge. Another example is someone who comes in manic and doesnt remember stripping off all their clothes in front of other pts and staff. It happens all the time. And that is when male staff are called to restrain the pt. How humiliating. But once their meds are working they don't remember. But it's documented in their notes. Both nurses and pdocs.
