Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Risk factors for aggression related to the patient population include dementia, psychosis, mania, substance use or withdrawal, and personality disorders. Depression, somatic symptom disorder, and eating disorders do not present an increased risk for aggression related to the patient population.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 4, 5
Explanation: Risk factors for aggression and violence in health care settings include characteristics of the services delivered, such as the frequent presence of distraught patients and family members; individuals having to wait for services to be delivered; and low staffing levels that may exacerbate waiting times for those having to wait for care. Census levels and characteristics of staff members do not increase the risk of violence in the health care setting.
