Answer to Question 1

B
The ability to listen and assist those who are newly grieving through the use of silence and a quiet presence is very effective. Stating You need to be strong for your children. is a clich. Asking if there is anyone the widow needs to have notified and stating You are feeling overwhelmed about your husband's death. are not therapeutic in this immediate grieving time.

Answer to Question 2

D
A nurse should not erase, apply correction fluid, or scratch out errors made while recording in a patient's chart. Instead, the nurse should draw a single line through the error, write the word error above it, and sign her name or initials.
