You are legally and morally obligated to alert the staff. Secrets don't cover life and death.

He wants to jump on the building at 12 in the evening. Are you retarded? Do you mean he will jump off the building at 12 midnight? You need to tell your boss pronto! I'd recommend using a trusted co-worker or a PDR for future health care related questions and not yahoo answers.

I would advise talking to a supervisor. Perhaps she knows the patient better than you--medical history, mental history and perhaps they can watch the patient more closely as the appointed time approaches. I would not keep it a secret. The patient does not need to know this though. Good luck.

Pass the word to supervisors. Your not doing your job if you don't. If they can't stop him at the time at least someone will get to watch from outside.

I hope you will talk to your supervisor about this in the next few minutes.
