Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The primary factor that distinguishes a psychiatric emergency from other types of crises and medical emergencies is the presence or threat of danger to the self or others. When the patient expresses the willingness to alert the staff when such feelings are occurring there is reason to believe the immediate emergency has past. The other options do not exhibit such a sense of willingness on the patient's part.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Populations at high risk for psychiatric emergencies include those with chronic mental pa-thologies, such as chronic schizophrenia, because their emotional stability can be easily dis-rupted. The other patients lack that element of emotional and cognitive fragility and have a responsible support system.
