Answer to Question 1

A
Many people try to protect the dying person from experiencing emotions; however, emotional honesty is important to both the patient and the family. The patient may be reassured knowing that the family is facing the inevitable. Giving advice and making judgmental statements are not helpful.

Answer to Question 2

B
Adaptation, in mental health terms, is best shown in the client's improved behavior and ability to carry out activities normal to his or her life; this displays effective coping skills. The other options do not show complete adaptation.
