Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Although the models of grief are useful in guiding the nursing care of clients who are experiencing loss, there are no clear-cut stages of grief, nor are there exact timetables. Kbler-Ross describes all stages of grief and grieving. None of the models clearly or definitively predict grief behaviors. No research exists that proves these models are not useful.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C

External support systems promote coping and adaption and include friends, religious affiliations, and community resources. Internal resources include effective communication patterns and knowledge or skills to assist in the family problem-solving process.
