Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Immediate interventions involve removing the means of suicide to reduce the risk of it happening. If the person is hospitalized, methods may include ensuring pills or medications are not available to clients or that they are not taking any measures to accumulate needed drugs. If in a community or home care setting, nurses may enlist the help of family or friends to remove the means and to provide immediate support.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
People with chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart attack/stroke, chronic headache or other chronic pain, and respiratory problems are associated with suicidal behavior. However, those with epilepsy most strongly correlated with suicidal outcomes.
