Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Experience of abuse as a child has been shown to lead to risky sexual behavior and early pregnancy. Since the young adult admits to being severely abused the most appropriate initial teaching should be the results of risky behavior. A later teaching topic might include the possibility of her becoming a child abuser. General hygiene needs would not be an appropriate initial teaching as compared to the results of risky sexual behavior. Even though she might need some general coping skills that would not be the initial most appropriate teaching topic.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Jumping from high places may be the preferred form of suicide. High bridges may be a common venue for suicides. For example, installation of a bridge barrier on a bridge in Montreal, Canada, effectively reduced suicide rates. Sponsoring support groups may or may not help with suicide prevention. Separating recyclables from other forms of trash has nothing to do with suicide prevention. Posting the telephone number for the crisis support line might help an individual with suicide prevention however this is not a population approach.
