Answer to Question 1

B
The fact that the adolescent did not make the cheerleading squad, although she was on it last year, would be an indication that she might be at risk for suicide and in need of further assessment for suicidal ideation. An adolescent's perceived inadequacy in social competency, such as performance as a cheerleader, can trigger an intense emotional response such as thoughts of suicide.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most common delusions seen in schizophrenia are persecutory delusions. Persons with persecutory delusions are paranoid; they believe that others intend to do them harm.
