Answer to Question 1

C
When decreased myocardial blood perfusion is extensive or perfusion is completely blocked, the tissue becomes necrotic and a myocardial infarction occurs. Angina or angina pectoris is the result of decreased blood flow to the myocardium as a result of coronary artery spasms or temporary constriction.

Answer to Question 2

C
Persons overwhelmed by their loss cannot function or display significant behavioral dysfunction in an exaggerated grief response. Evidence of exaggerated grief includes severe phobias, deep depression, or self-destructive behaviors such as alcoholism, substance abuse, or suicide.
