Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Risk factors for suicide in adolescents include substance abuse, personal or family history of depression, anxiety disorders, problems at school, problems communicating with parents, having a friend who committed suicide, and family ownership of a handgun.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Lean body mass and lower water volumes result in higher plasma concentrations of water-soluble drugs. Absorption time does not decrease in older adults, and fat-soluble drugs can accumulate in their adipose tissue. Decreased renal and hepatic function results in reduced clearance but not accumulation in the kidneys and liver themselves.
