Question

A.
Call the person back periodically over the next few months to check in on them

B.
Discuss your feelings with a supervisor, clinical lead, or peer

C.
Try to initiate emergency service intervention less frequently

D.
Participate in a self-care routine after your shift

E.
A and B

F.
B and D

Answer 1

The best answer is F. B and D.

Discussing your feelings with a supervisor, clinical lead, or peer (B) can provide you with support and help you process the situation. Participating in a self-care routine after your shift (D) is also important for maintaining your own mental well-being, especially after a stressful incident.

While checking in on the person (A) shows care, it may not always be appropriate or feasible depending on the circumstances and policies in place. Avoiding emergency interventions less frequently (C) is not a suitable solution, as it could compromise the safety of individuals in need.
