Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
The closed awareness model is one in which the goal of care providers and family seek to keep the truth from the client. The belief centers around the rationale that telling the client the seriousness of the condition would be too upsetting. As the client begins to realize the seriousness of his condition, caregivers limit and control information. The mutual pretense model is one in which both client and family know about the pending death, but do not discuss it. In the open awareness model, the client and family have open communication and accept death.

Answer to Question 2

D
A reflective communication technique is helpful. Looking at one's role in the event serves to explain events that the victim would otherwise find incomprehensible. The distracters discount the victim's perceived role and interfere with further discussion.
