Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Secondary prevention resources focus on early intervention and treatment. Primary prevention resources focus on prevention and recognition. Providing the patient with a brochure or a list of resources available are primary prevention interventions. Tertiary prevention resources focus on problem solving and support systems, as well as on establishing a healthy sense of self and self-reflection. A support group for survivors of suicide is an example of a tertiary prevention resource.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Primary intervention is used to reduce the risk of suicide or suicide attempt. The goal is to prevent suicide by helping individuals to receive assistance before hopelessness occurs and the individual views death as the only alternative. Teaching first responders the signs of increased risk for suicide, as well as teaching a group of parents about the signs of suicidal gestures are examples of secondary interventions. Teaching a patient about re-establishing a healthy sense of self is a tertiary intervention.
