Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The nurse should define dysfunctional grieving as the experience of distress, with accompanying sadness, which fails to follow norms. Three types of pathological grief reactions are delayed or inhibited grief, distorted (exaggerated) grief response, and chronic or prolonged grieving. One crucial difference between normal and dysfunctional grieving is the loss of self-esteem marked my feelings of guilt or worthlessness that may precipitate depression.

Answer to Question 2

C
Symptoms consistent with pervasive developmental disorder are evident in the key. The behaviors of the other children are within normal ranges.
