Answer to Question 1
ANS: 1
A young adult is more likely to die of self-inflicted injury when living at or below the poverty level when no other risk factors (i.e., a violent environment, drug abuse, etc.) are present. In 2002 the death rate (per 100,000 population) for 25- to 34-year-olds in the United States caused by homicide was 11.2; the death rate caused by accidents was 31.5; and the death rate caused by suicide was 12.6 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services USDHHS).
Answer to Question 2
ANS: 3
Violence is the greatest cause of mortality and morbidity in the young adult population. Factors that predispose individuals to violence, injury, or death include poverty, family breakdown, child abuse and neglect, repeated exposure to violence, and ready access to guns. This option repre-sents an individual who most likely is both poor and exposed to an environment of repeated vio-lent acts. While Option 1 represents a potential for physical and mental abuse, it does not present the level of potential violence existing in Option 3. While Option 2 represents a potential for physical injury and possible death, it does not present the level of potential violence existing in Option 3. While Option 4 represents a potential for physical injury and possible death, it does not present the level of potential violence existing in Option 3.
