Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Interview tactics include the following: Be prepared to answer questions about technical competency and if the employer asks about experience with specific nursing procedures or with particular types of clients, be honest about skills and state that you would appreciate inservice education in procedures if you are not comfortable. If the salary and benefits are not known, ask these questions last. The nurse should also explain any gaps in experience or education or an abundance of jobs in a positive way.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E, F
Feedback:
A family history of suicide or child maltreatment; physical illness, particularly chronic illness; easy access to lethal methods; and impulsive or aggressive tendencies are some of the risk factors for suicide, along with unwillingness to seek help because of the stigma attached to mental health, and feelings of isolation.
