Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Symptoms of normal grief include headache, fatigue, oversensitivity to noise, insomnia, appetite disturbance, and choking sensation. Different people manifest different symptoms. Denial is assessed when the person indicates that he is not accepting that the loss happened.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A child's stage of development and chronological age will influence how he or she grieves. Toddlers can show grief through changes in their eating patterns, changes in their sleeping patterns, fussiness or irritability, and changes in their bowel and bladder habits. It is common for younger children to regress when under increased stress. Lack of outside playtime, dietary changes, and having too many toys are unlikely to cause enuresis.
