Answer to Question 1

A
Of the options listed, the priority assessment should be the victim's coping mechanisms. The other
options have little relevance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Deaths and other significant losses are high-scoring items on the questionnaire. A number of losses
would suggest a high score and a greater propensity for difficulty.
