C

Answer to Question 2

Possible warning signs of suicide include the following (the response should address at least four of them):
 Sudden withdrawal from social relationships
 Disregard for personal appearance
 A dramatic personality change
 A sudden elevation in mood
 A preoccupation with death and morbid themes
 Overt or veiled threats (e.g., I won't be around much longer)
 Actions that indicate putting one's affairs in order (e.g., giving away prized possessions)
 Substance abuse
 Preference for certain kinds of music (e.g., heavy metal rock music with morbid themes)
 Efforts to obtain suicidal means (e.g., medications, ropes, or guns)
