Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Both sets of victims would have inhaled smoke and have lung damage. The treatment and length of stay would be determined by the amount of damage, which may vary from victim to victim. Both sets of victims, depending on the severity of the burns, may have scarring, shortness of breath, and persistent hoarseness for the rest of their lives. A direct victim is an individual who is immediately affected by the event; the indirect victim may be a family member or friend of the victim or a first responder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
For people between the ages of 25 and 34 years, suicide is the second leading cause of death, and it is the third leading cause of death in people aged 15 to 24 years.
