Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Factors associated with suicidal behaviors include access to firearms providing the teenage patient with the opportunity and means to harm himself if he again becomes depressed. Alt-hough the remaining options represent possible risk factors, none provide insight into oppor-tunity and means.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Self-injurious behavior is not suicidal behavior and is not viewed as a risk factor for suicidal ideations or attempts, but some teenagers accidentally commit suicide in the process. Teen-agers are acting on suicidal thoughts at an alarming rate.
