Answer to Question 1

A
A history of prior aggression or violence is the best predictor of who may become violent. Option B:
Clients with anxiety disorders are not particularly prone to violence unless panic occurs. Option C:
Clients experiencing hopelessness and powerlessness may have coexisting anger, but violence is not
often demonstrated. Option D: Clients with paranoid delusions are at greater risk for violence than
those with bizarre somatic delusions.

Answer to Question 2

C
If a person has definite plans that include choosing a method of suicide readily available to the
person, and if the method is one that is lethal (i.e., will cause the person to die with little probability
for intervention), the suicide risk is considered high. These areas provide a better indication of risk
than the areas mentioned in the other options.
