Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Asking questions related to profession and work history may reveal the patient's role and perceived self-image. Questions aimed at their work relationships, feelings about retirement, and concerns over loss of a job will aid in assessing for dysfunctional grief. Patients may completely avoid their support systems, lose interest in activities, and be unable to concentrate.
