Answer to Question 1

A
Periodic updates reduce anxiety and defuse anger. This strategy acknowledges the husband's

that his anxiety is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

method for suicide for both men and women.) Options A and D are secondary prevention measures,
and option B is a tertiary prevention measure.
