Answer to Question 1

C
In this situation, the person knows that she is going to die, so the decision of where to die is made freely and with sound mind. Suicide and planned suicide simply refer to intentionally taking one's own life. Self-injury is an active attempt to injure oneself.

Answer to Question 2

B
Electroconvulsive treatment may cause memory loss; such loss is usually transient and improves after treatments are completed. Most patients respond to a course of treatment involving 12 to 15 sessions of ECT. Restraint is not part of pretreatment protocol. ECT improves depression and can interrupt an episode of depression, but its effects are not lasting and may not improve the depression completely. Antidepressant medications or periodic additional sessions of ECT are indicated to reduce recurrence in most patients.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
