Suicidal Patient Observation

I recently admitted a 59 year old male with suicidal ideation. As I was assessing my patient, he told me that he was a type 2 diabetic who checks his bloodsugars with meals and uses Insulin for coverage. He was concerned that his readings at home have been elevated and has not had an appetite for the last two days. I used the glucometer to check his chemstick which was 285. I called the admitting doctor and the Hospitalist to report my findings and the result of the bloodsugar. As a nursing intervention, I ordered a Nutrition consult. The dieticiton came and discussed meal choices that were appealing to the patient. The Hospitalist came to see the patient and ordered Humalog sliding scale coverage and point of care testing before meals
