The answer to this question will determine your next step.  If it is a realistic plan that they would be very capable of carrying out (e.g., overdosing on meds, hanging oneself, etc.), your response would be as follows: 
You:  On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most likely, how likely are you to carry out this plan in the very near future?
 
If the answer is a high number, you will want to confer with a caregiver/relative and refer the client to the nearest psychiatric hospital for an assessment.  If it is a lower number, you can decide whether to refer or to try to make a contract with the client that they will not do anything without calling you first and/or try contacting a close friend/relative so he/she can keep in touch with the client.
