Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Unemployment is associated with violence within and outside the home. Abuse may increase both in and outside of the home due to unemployment. Applying for unemployment benefits is not a risk for this population. Neglecting the needs of their children only addresses what could happen inside of the home and not outside of the home.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Homicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals between 15 and 24 years of age. Rates of homicide for children under the age of 1 were highest in Non-Hispanic blacks and American Indian/Alaska Native infants.
