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.
