Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Suicide risk factors include a history of sexual abuse. There is no current research to support a strong relationship between suicide attempts and any of the other options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Communication will be facilitated knowing that a patient with Asperger's disorder has no clinically significant delays in language or cognitive function. The remaining options are characteristics of both disorders.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
