Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Because the client committed suicide, the parents of the client become the nurse's clients. The parents are observed arguing in the waiting room, which would indicate ineffective family coping. There is no way to determine if the parents are experiencing situational low self-esteem. The parents are probably experiencing anxiety; however, ineffective family coping is the priority. There is no way of knowing if the parents are at risk for violence.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, D

Of the assessment findings, the ones that would increase the client's risk for suicidal ideation or behavior are the recent loss of a spouse and substance abuse. For the risk of age, elderly male clients have the highest risk followed by adolescents and college students. Active employment and engagement in activities do not increase the risk for suicidal ideation or behavior.
