Answer to Question 1

B
The lethality of self-injury is usually low, and patients who self-injure seek relief of tension. Suicide attempts are directed by the wish to die. Care-planning strategies will differ based on underlying patient motivation.

Answer to Question 2

C
When a client threatens to harm a specific person, the health care provider has a legal obligation to warn the person. The other options would result in a violation of the client's right to privacy.
