Answer to Question 1

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 socioeconomic status, insight, and support systems.

Answer to Question 2

Extrapyramidal
These side effects occur as a result of an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Additional extrapyramidal side effects (EPSEs) include dyskinesia, akinesia, and dystonia.
