Answer to Question 1

B
A statement that validates the bereaved person's loss is more helpful than banalities and clichs. It
signifies understanding. The other options are clichs.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Nursing Outcomes Classification outcome of decision making is most closely aligned with the
decisional conflict experienced by the client. The relation of the other outcomes to this diagnosis
would be more indirect.
