Answer to Question 1

C
Adolescents may experience depression when they feel they have failed; in this case the student failed an exam. The use of alcohol and cocaine can further depress the individual. These adolescents are at risk for suicide attempts as a possible solution to their problems.

Answer to Question 2

C
A characteristic of schizophrenia is the use of language that demonstrates loose association of the client's thoughts. The connection between thoughts and ideas seems lost. Without coherent language, the individual loses ability to communicate verbally.
