Five questions to explore with the client:
1. Have they wondered whether life is worth living, or wondered if it would be better to simply die.
2. If the response is yes, have they ever thought about hastening death?

4. If yes, have they thought about how they might do it.
5. If they have a plan, inquire about their timetable.
