Answer to Question 1

B
This question will give the nurse information as to whether a plan exists, the lethality of the method chosen, and the accessibility of the method.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nonpharmacological interventions such as hypnosis, imagery, relaxation, and music therapy allow the parasympathetic system to exert a calming influence during stressful situations. This can be understood through the concept of mind modulation. As an example, the nurse could relate to the client's own experiences in which listening to calming music or thinking of an especially pleasant memory physically relaxed the client.
