Which statement would the nurse preparing an in-service program on suicide use to explain Durkheim's anomic suicide?
 
  1. Deaths of individuals who were influenced by a group to turn against their own conscience
  2. Acts of self-destruction by individuals who have become estranged from im-portant relationships in their groups
  3. Self-inflicted deaths based on obedience to a group's goals that override one's own best interests
  4. A death resulting from excessive regulation

Question 2

A client at the crisis clinic has had four prior admissions for suicidal gestures.
 
  This time the client relates having gone into the bathroom and making superficial cuts on her wrists when her boyfriend told her he was going to break off the relationship. She showed the boyfriend her bleeding wrists, and he responded by bringing her to the clinic. To the nurse it is apparent that the client is being rewarded for being in crisis. This situation is called:
  1. Primary reward
  2. Secondary gain
  3. A crisis trigger
  4. Circumstantiality

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Option 1 describes the egoistic subtype of suicide. Option 3 describes an altruistic subtype, and option 4 is the definition of the fatalistic subtype.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Secondary gain refers to having a competing goal that rewards the client for being in crisis. This serves as a barrier to effective crisis intervention. Options 1 and 3 are not terms used in crisis in-tervention theory. Option 4 is a type of speech that includes many extraneous details often used by anxious individuals.
