Answer to Question 1

A
Hypnotics can worsen existing sleep disturbances when they induce drug-dependency insomnia. Once the drug is discontinued, the individual may have rebound insomnia and nightmares. CNS stimulants worsen insomnia while they are in use. Tricyclic antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics may help insomnia but would not be used for initial therapy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Women attempt suicide three times more frequently than men, but men are more often suc-cessful at completing the act.
