Answer to Question 1

C
The client verbalizing hope for the future is the best indicator that nursing interventions for a suicidal client have been successful. Clients who are suicidal tend to demonstrate symptoms of depression such as hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness. The nurse's evaluation should also include monitoring the client's view of self and life situation to assess if the factors contributing to the client's suicidal ideations have changed in any way.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
