Answer to Question 1

D
Perceived losses are uniquely experienced by a grieving person and are often less obvious to others. A perceived loss is real to the person who feels the loss. A person may perceive that she is less loved by her parents, for example, and experiences a loss of self-esteem. Others often overlook or misunderstand perceived losses.

Answer to Question 2

B
When a nurse provides care for several patients at one time, he or she will need to use decision-making criteria. These criteria include the clinical conditions of the patients, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, risks involved in treatment delays, and the patients' expectations of care to determine what patients have the greatest priorities for care.
