Answer to Question 1

A, B, E, F
Feedback:
Suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescents 15 to 19 years of age. Risk factors for suicide include mental health changes, history of previous suicide attempt, family disorganization, and substance abuse. Other risk factors include poor school performance, crowded conditions/housing, low socioeconomic status, limited parental supervision, single-parent families/both parents in workforce, access to guns or cars, drug or alcohol use, low self-esteem, racism, peer or gang pressure, and aggression.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Treatment of impetigo is oral administration of penicillin for 7 to 10 days. Thumb-sucking is not a cause for this disease. The lesions of impetigo are not covered with dressings. Steroids are not used to treat this disease.
