Answer to Question 1

D
Many of the most prevalent and disabling mental disorders have strong biological influences. Genetics are only one part of biological factors. Empathy does not address increasing the spouse's level of knowledge about the cause of the disorder. The other distracters are not established facts.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse should identify that, according to Bowlby, an appropriate long-term outcome for this client is to accomplish the reorganization stage of grief by year one. Until the client can recognize and accept personal feelings regarding the loss, grief work cannot progress. The reorganization stage of grieving is the final stage in which the individual accepts the loss and new goals and patterns are established.
