Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Acute grief does not include severe depression or conflicted issues, so options 1 and 2 are incor-rect. Option 3 describes PTSD symptoms, so this is incorrect. Acute grief can involve images of the deceased, and option 4 is correct.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Adjustment to life cycle transitions may initiate acute grief, so option 2 is correct. This could be a situational crisis but not adventitious crisis, so option 1 is incorrect. There are no indications that this will become chronic, so 3 is incorrect, and option 4 is incorrect since the loss is not of that magnitude.
