Answer to Question 1

B
Often when an individual denies his or her feelings of anxiety, the anxiety is expressed physically. The other options are examples of defense mechanisms.

Answer to Question 2

A
The behaviors described in the scenario are consistent with anticipatory grieving. The spouse needs education about the process of anticipatory grieving and counseling to validate what she is experiencing and enhance coping with the physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms she is experiencing. The other options are not appropriate to the situation.
