Abstract

As explained in the first part of this article in the October 2014 issue of Current Psychiatry, assessing and managing suicide risk are complex, difficult tasks without clear-cut, easy solutions. The case-based, multiple-choice self-test, with accompanying commentary, presented here is designed to enhance one's ability to provide care for patients at risk for suicide. Part 2 of this article poses the remaining 7 of 15 questions, which are based on clinical experience and the referenced work of others. © 2012.
