Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Risk factors associated with an increased risk for suicide include alcohol and drug abuse, loss of a loved one, joblessness, and lack of economic security. Inclement weather and family visits are not risk factors associated with an increased risk for suicide.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4, 5, 6
The change in osmolality that occurs with hyponatremia causes fluid to shift into the intracellular space. Signs and symptoms associated with an expanded intracellular compartment include confusion, restlessness, lethargy, seizures, and coma. Poor appetite is not an assessment finding of hyponatremia.
