Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The teen is displaying normal grief responses. He is not avoiding his pain but rather express-ing it various ways. There are no data to support that he feels responsible. He has not ex-pressed suicidal ideation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Some families who are experiencing anticipatory grieving withdraw prematurely from the ill member, so this is an important outcome. There are no protective mechanisms to prevent loss experiences. Anticipatory grieving does not imply violence. A contract to stay home and care for the spouse even with assistance is not helpful.
