Answer to Question 1

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

Answer to Question 2

A
The desired overall outcome is that the delirious patient will return to the level of functioning held before the development of delirium. 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.
