Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
It is not possible to distinguish between patients with depression who will make a suicide attempt and those who will not. Doing so would be desirable and would not be unethical.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Risk for suicide increases when there is a family history of suicide. Risk of suicide is two to eight times higher in first-degree (parents, siblings, or children) relatives of people who died by suicide than in the general population.
