Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: There is considerable evidence that the serotonergic system is partly under genetic control and that as yet unknown genetic factors influence the risk for suicidal behavior. These genetic factors are thought to be independent of the factors responsible for the heritability of major psychiatric conditions associated with suicide.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The recreational therapist plans and guides recreational activities to provide socialization, healthful recreation, and desirable interpersonal and intrapsychic experiences and will be the member of the healthcare team to take the lead in the implementation of this portion of the treatment plan. While all members of the team work together, the psychiatrist is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of the mental illness. The occupational therapist teaches self-help activities and helps prepare the client for employment. The clinical psychologist's foci are psychotherapy, behavior modification, and psychological testing.
