Answer to Question 1

A
Twin studies suggest the presence of genetic factors in suicide; however, separating genetic
predisposition to suicide from predisposition to depression or alcoholism is difficult. Primary
interventions can be helpful in promoting and maintaining health and possibly counteracting genetic
load. Option B is an untrue statement. Option C is factual but not helpful. Option D is an
oversimplification.

Answer to Question 2

D
A fact witness testifies regarding first-hand experience only. Option A: Forensic nurse examiners
conduct court-ordered examinations and provide written reports and court testimony regarding the
findings of the examinations. Option B: Physiological forensic nurses work with the alleged victim
rather than the alleged perpetrator. Option C: An expert witness testifies regarding involvement with
the client and any documentation made by the expert witness and provides a professional opinion
based on professional expertise.
