Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students may mention any five of the following responses: insomnia, feelings of emptiness or muscular weakness, intense anxiety, sense of unreality, lapses in memory, loss of appetite, depression and social withdrawal, tightness in the throat or shortness of breath, feelings of guilt, difficulty concentrating, hostility, tendency to engage in purposeless behavior, difficulty in making decisions, preoccupation with the image of the deceased, and susceptibility to disease.
Worden's model includes the following four tasks:
1) Accept the reality of the loss.
2) Work through the pain of grief.
3) Adjust to an environment in which the deceased is missing.
4) Emotionally relocate the deceased and move on with life.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: You could explain that hospice care is provided under the direction of a qualified physician, and that the care will focus on reducing your family member's pain and discomfort, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You could also share that hospice will help the patient and all of your family members feel more in control of the experience, will provide emotional support to the patient and family, and will continue to support the family through the bereavement period, potentially increasing the survivors' ability to cope with the loss.
