Answer to Question 1

D
Grieving with suicidal ideations would indicate an abnormal grief reaction. In abnormal grieving, the individual experiences grief as overwhelming and resorts to maladaptive behaviors. There are four types of abnormal grief reactions: chronic grief, delayed grief, exaggerated grief, and masked grief. Loss of appetite and weight loss, depressive symptoms 1 month after the loss, and the attempt to keep busy are all normal grief reactions to a loss.

Answer to Question 2

C
Undetected postpartum depression may lead to serious disturbances in mother-infant bonding, breastfeeding effectiveness, and family functioning. In rare circumstances postpartum depression may result in psychosis, infanticide, or both. Postpartum depression is a true form of depression that requires interventions. It does not indicate inadequate maternal instincts or spousal abuse.
