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.
