Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Late adolescence to mid-thirties is the typical age range for the onset of schizophrenia. The onset of schizophrenia does not usually occur during early adolescence. Most people with schizophrenia do not experience onset in the late thirties to early forties. Rarely does schizophrenia first appear at age 60.

Answer to Question 2

5
Rationale: Suicide, the willful act of ending one's own life, is the 11th leading cause of death among Americans. Over 34,000 people kill themselves each year (CDC, 2009), and as many as 44 of psychiatric emergency clients are at increased risk for suicide (Pompili, et al., 2009).
