The PMHNP has been working with a 31 year old male patient for about six months. Today, the patient endorses suicidal ideation without intent or plan, and shares that these feelings have been present for about a year and they come and go. He cannot identify any particular stressor associated with the feelings. This patient denies past suicide attempts. The PMHNP completes the CSSRS, and the patient rates as low risk. What is the most likely next step based on this information?
