Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A patient saying that God has left and there is no reason for living must be seen first for safety reasons. It must be determined by the nurse if the patient is planning suicide or is just angry and frustrated. A patient refusing treatment on the Sabbath is within that patient's right and doesn't need to be seen first. A patient with a folk healer is within the patient's right and does not need to be seen first. A patient praying to Allah is within the patient's right and does not need to be seen first.
