The nurse presenting a suicide prevention lecture at a community center could correctly describe the problem of suicide in America today by stating that:
1. The decreased rate of suicide is related to increased availability of antidepressants
2. Children are considered a high-risk group for committing suicide
3. The highest suicide rate is among the Caucasian middle-age population
4. Rates of suicide are highest among the older population, age 65 and older
ANS: 4
Option 1 is incorrect, since there has not been an overall decrease in the rate of suicide. Options 2 and 3 are incorrect because children under the age of 10 are not a high-risk group (however, as-sessment should still include this possibility), and the highest rate is not among the middle-age population.
