Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

During restitution the mourner continues to feel a painful void, is preoccupied with thoughts of the loss, and may join a support group or seek other social support for coping with the loss. The patient who is joining a support group is in the stage of restitution. Acute grief is initiated by shock and disbelief, which may manifest as denial.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Age is a great determinant of beliefs about death. Children this age understand the finality of death. At the age of 7, children do not have the emotional maturity to distance themselves from death. The ability to understand separation has been mastered by the age of 7. Children this age do not think that death is sleeping.
