Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: While further research is still needed, research has found a relationship between completed suicide and low vitamin D levels. While reviewing the other laboratory values are not inappropriate, these actions do not reflect the current research on laboratory values and suicide.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Sociological or environmental influences that increase risk for suicide include isolation from others, military status, and incarceration. Working two jobs is not a risk factor for suicide. Chronic illness is a biological risk factor. Apprehensive anxiety is a psychological risk factor.
