Answer to Question 1

3. Disenfranchised grieving

Rationale:
Sleep disturbances are common during the grieving period. This client is unable to grieve openly for her lost relationship as extramarital affairs are not socially sanctioned. Abbreviated grieving is grieving that is brief but genuinely felt. This client's grief is not yet chronic as only 3 weeks have passed. External grieving is not a recognized type of grief response.

Answer to Question 2

4. Suffocation in the crib

Rationale:
Suffocation in the crib is a safety hazard for both newborns and infants. Drowning is seen in toddlers and preschoolers. Exposure to alcohol consumption is a safety hazard to the fetus, and pedestrian accidents are seen in the older adult.
