B.   Feeling anxious to leave for personal appointments may indicate stress but does not specifically address caregiver role strain.
C.   Taking naps in her car during lunch hour may suggest fatigue or exhaustion but does not directly relate to caregiver role strain.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Episodic intervals of pruritus (itching) may suggest a dermatological condition or irritation of the scalp, but they do not directly indicate that the hair loss is not disease-related.
B. Erythema (redness) of the localized lesions may suggest inflammation or irritation but does not necessarily indicate that the hair loss is not disease-related.

C. Ecchymotic blood accumulations (bruising) suggest trauma or repeated pulling at the hair, which is not typically associated with disease-related causes. This finding can indicate a behavioral issue, such as trichotillomania (a compulsive hair-pulling disorder), where physical damage to the scalp can result in bruising and bald patches. The presence of ecchymosis supports a mechanical, non-disease-related cause of hair loss.

D. Evidence of patches of lost hair alone does not confirm whether the hair loss is disease-related or non-disease-related. Patches of hair loss can occur with both behavioral conditions (e.g., trichotillomania) and diseases (e.g., alopecia areata, fungal infections).

A. A retired older male whose significant other has passed away. B. A nurse who works in a pediatric emergency department. C. An adolescent male whose parents recently divorced. D. A single working mother with three pre-school aged children.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While the loss of a significant other can be a risk factor for suicide, retired older males may have developed coping mechanisms over time that could mitigate the risk.
B. While working in a pediatric emergency department can be stressful, it does not necessarily indicate a higher risk for suicide compared to other factors such as personal life stressors or mental health issues.
C. Adolescents experiencing significant life changes such as parental divorce are at increased risk for suicide due to the emotional upheaval and lack of coping skills typical of this age group.

D. While being a single working mother with three preschool-aged children can be stressful, it does not inherently indicate a higher risk for suicide compared to other factors such as social support, coping mechanisms, and mental health status.
