Answer to Question 1

D
Because the wife wishes to leave the home and has no safe place to go, referral to a shelter is
necessary. The shelter will provide other referrals as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
Rationale: Failing examinations in the academic major constitutes a recent stressful life event.
Shame and humiliation related to the failure can be hypothesized. Inability to contact parents can be
seen as recent lack of social support, as can the roommate's absence from the dormitory. Options A,
B, and F: The scenario does not provide data regarding a history of an earlier suicide attempt, a
family history of suicide, or of co-occurring medical illness.
