Answer to Question 1

D
Suicide attempts are often made in prison. The inmate shows evidence of hopelessness, an important
predictor of suicide. Options A, B, C: Safety is the primary issue. None of these options is
appropriate relative to suicide prevention.

Answer to Question 2

C
This outcome indicator is directly related to improvement in the child's hyperactivity and
distractibility. Options A and C are more relevant for a child with pervasive developmental disorder.
Option D is more relevant for a child with anxiety disorder.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
