Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Risk factors may limit an individual's ability to cope or problem solve during stressful life events or situations. These may include the presence of concurrent or multiple biopsychoso-cial stressors, such as depression and hypertension, as well as chronic physical or psychologi-cal pain. The other options are not known to negatively impact an individual's ability to cope or problem solve.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, E
The decision to admit this patient involuntarily is based on whether the person poses a danger to himself or herself, including sharing thoughts or threats of suicide, sharing a suicide plan, or actively using a weapon or situation to injure himself or herself; and/or whether the person poses a danger to others as evidenced by threatening another, brandishing a weapon, or dis-playing erratic or unpredictable behavior. The remaining options do not fulfill either of these conditions.
