Answer to Question 1

B
There is a multitude of causes for intellectual impairment. In nearly half of the cases, a specific cause has not been identified. Only 5 of children with intellectual impairment are affected by a genetic defect. One-third of children with intellectual impairment are affected by first-trimester events. Intellectual impairment can be transmitted to a child only if the parent has a genetic disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
The risk of suicide increases if the child has had a previous suicide attempt, a recent loss, or a history of physical abuse. No previous violence in the home or having an effective social network decreases the risk of suicide.
