Answer to Question 1

A
Although each of the options is possible, the most likely response is thinking about what the illness means in terms of lifespan, quality of life, and other mortality issues. The other responses are pathologic and are not seen as frequently.

Answer to Question 2

B
Risk assessment shows the patient to have suicidal thoughts, and a plan for the suicide that is highly lethal, executable, and with low potential for rescue. The other factors do not have as great an effect on the determination of the level of services needed.
