Answer to Question 1

A
Feelings of sadness are normal for most individuals at some time. Losses and stresses far less profound than death can make an individual sad, but the feelings are usually fleeting, lasting a few hours to a few days. Even though the client felt fatigue, felt sadness, and did not eat, her mood changed when her son invited her to dinner.
