Which of the following physical disturbances is commonly assessed in clients experiencing acute grief?

1. Increased appetite
2. Tightness in the chest
3. Cardiovascular problems
4. Hypersomnia

Question 2

An important point nurses should include when teaching about concurrent use of alternative and prescription medicines is that:

1. Health care providers need to know that the client is using both
2. Health care provider cultural incompetence is to be expected
3. Most nursing actions are directed to fulfill holistic goals
4. It is usually dangerous to combine the two types of therapy

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Chest discomfort is common with the bereaved person. Option 1 is incorrect since anorexia is more common. Option 3 has not been proven. Option 4 is incorrect since insomnia is more fre-quent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Only when the provider has accurate information about all therapies in use can safe, effective care be provided. The provider cannot function with incomplete assessment information. Option 2 is not true. New standards for cultural competency exist. Option 3 is not universally true. Many actions are designed to alleviate symptoms. Option 4 is not true. Alternative and conventional therapies can be effectively used together.
