Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B

Displaying mild depression and showing curiosity about death indicate low-level risk for suicide. Discussing taking his or her life, planning to end life, and discussing such plans in detail indicate high-level risk of suicide.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Yellowing of the skin within the first 24 hours of life is caused by pathological jaundice and often requires treatment with phototherapy. All of the other assessment findings are considered normal during the first 24 hours of life.
