Answer to Question 1

A
Periodic updates reduce anxiety and defuse anger. This strategy acknowledges the husband's
presence and concern. Options B, C, and D would be likely to increase anger because they imply
that his anxiety is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

C
This measure reduces ease of access to a lethal means of suicide. (Firearms are the most common
method for suicide for both men and women.) Options A and D are secondary prevention measures,
and option B is a tertiary prevention measure.
