Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Parasuicide is a voluntary, apparent attempt at suicide, commonly called a suicidal gesture, in which the aim is not death. Suicide is the voluntary act of killing oneself. It is a fatal, self-inflicted destructive act with explicit or inferred intent to die. Suicidality is all suicide-related behaviors and thoughts of completing or attempting suicide and suicide ideation. A suicide attempt is a nonfatal, self-inflicted destructive act with explicit or implicit intent to die.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The first nursing intervention should be to stay with the client while remaining calm. A calm presence will help to relax the client. The nurse should use short sentences to provide clear directions and then assist the client to an environment with minimal stimuli. A client experiencing panic is unable to process information, so telling the client that the attack will soon pass would be ineffective. Educating the client on deep-breathing techniques would be appropriate later, after the panic subsides and the client is amenable to hearing and processing information.
