Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Researchers believe frontal lobe dysfunction is related to feelings of hopelessness and worthless-ness, both of which are signs of suicidal thoughts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Although option 1 is true, option 3 is more constructive because it informs the family that mood disorders often accompany suicidal ideation, and antidepressants can treat these. Option 2 is in-correct because antipsychotics are not used specifically for suicide prevention, and option 4 is a hopeless statement.
