Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
While females engage in suicidal behaviors approximately three times more frequently than males, males are at least four times more likely to die from suicide. This outcome may be because men generally tend to choose more violent methods. In the United States, two-thirds of male suicide victims die by firearm. The most common cause of death by suicide in women is overdose or poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
This child's behaviors are most clearly indicative of a change in social functioning. The other listed nursing diagnoses are plausible, but they are not directly indicated by the evidence available.
