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.
