Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Nearly twice as many women as men are affected by depression. Men are more likely to mask depression in other ways, such as substance abuse. The elderly and children are also at risk for depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
While all of these diagnoses are important, the presence of hopelessness may be a sign of suicidal ideation and would take priority.
