Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: A client who has a specific suicide plan is most at risk for actually committing suicide, especially if the method is highly lethal and available to the client. The client also presents a lethality potential if the client appears disorganized and impulsive. Clients at higher risk for suicide include those with a history of a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, a personal or family history of suicide attempts, depression, alcoholism, or psychotic episodes.
