Answer to Question 1

A
The Depression Paradox Theory of Suicide postulates that suicide results from a conflict between helplessness and responsibility. The person may be caught between strong feelings of helplessness and equally strong feelings of responsibility. The bind generated by this conflict between feeling responsible and helpless may lead people to feel that only suicide gives them a way out of their troubles.

Answer to Question 2

A
Pregnancy poses a significant risk for physical abuse. A pregnant woman may not have the physical ability to protect herself from the physical trauma to herself or her unborn fetus. Abuse during pregnancy can produce adverse reproductive outcomes such as prematurity and pregnancy loss.
