Which count is used after incidents such as assault or suicide attempt?

• A. Immediate Count
• B. Emergency Count
• C. Regular Count
• D. Critical Count

Answer: (C)

Counts are the routine headcounts used to ensure everyone is present in the unit. After incidents such as an assault or suicide attempt, you perform the regular count to re-check attendance and reconcile the roster with who is actually in the cell block. This helps confirm that no one is missing or has moved away during the event, and it keeps the process aligned with normal procedures and documentation. While immediate or emergency counts are used to address the urgent situation at hand, the regular count re-establishes the standard accountability once immediate actions have been taken.
