Answer to Question 1

B
The child's complaint is vague. Although all the options are possible, the most common reason for a child to be resistant to a particular class relates to past experiences, such as having been a victim of bullying. This would be the most likely, and thus primary, concern. This option is the only one that reflects a safety issue.

Answer to Question 2

C
This reply shows empathy, an important quality in developing a relationship. The reply also begins assessment of risk. It is important to determine whether the patient has a plan, the lethality of the method chosen, and whether the patient has the means to implement the plan.
