Answer to Question 1

B
Suppression of emotions for a prolonged period is less adaptive than showing emotional responsiveness to loss.

Answer to Question 2

C
If you are uncomfortable regarding a medication order based on your assessment or lack of information, you should ask yourself if the principle would fit if this were one of your parents. This question is one from the value analysis model. By asking this question, you are testing the value principle by putting yourself in the position of a person involved with the decision.The situation becomes more personal when it relates to your own parents.
