Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Stress causes the immune system to send chemical messages (proinflammatory cytokines) to the
brain and that the brain then releases its own cytokines that signal the central nervous system to
initiate responses to help the body adapt to stress. Research suggests that any process that alters
neural activity in the brain can alter behavior, thought, and mood. Option A understates what is
known. Options B and C overstate causation of these disorders.

Answer to Question 2

C
Admitting a plan for suicide to staff is an indicator of suicide self-restraint. By admitting that a plan
exists, the client enables staff to take appropriate measures to prevent the client from carrying out
the plan. Option A: Clients may comply with antidepressant therapy and still make suicide attempts.
Option B: Clients may sign no-suicide contracts, knowing they will make a later suicide attempt.
Option D: Expressing hopelessness does not indicate suicide self-restraint.
