Answer to Question 1

social learning
Social learning theory suggests that people learn behavior from others in their environment based on the values, attitudes, and actions of role models.

Answer to Question 2

B
All of the interventions listed would be reasonable to undertake and could benefit the patient. However, removing potential means for possible future suicide attempts is the priority intervention because it involves safety. Guns in particular should be locked or, better still, removed from the premises because they are highly lethal and are the means most used by males who commit suicide.
