Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Clients with chronic, progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease, are liable to attempt suicide. Therefore, they need particularly close observation for suicide prevention. New clients, not those who have been in a mental health unit for a long time, are liable to attempt suicide. Clients suffering from sleep disorders, such as insomnia, and not hypersomnia, need close observation for suicide prevention. Clients with narcissistic personality disorder show a pattern of grandiosity and a sense of entitlement. Such clients are not particularly likely to attempt suicide.
