Answer to Question 1

1
Grief is the set of emotional reactions that accompany a loss.

Option B is an indicator appropriate for a patient whose arousal is compromised. Option C is too nonspecific to be useful for a patient with delirium. Option D is an unrealistic indicator for a patient with sensorium problems related to delirium.
