A teenage boy was deer hunting 2 weeks ago with his best friend. His friend was accidentally killed by another hunter.
 
  The boy whose friend was killed experienced decreased appetite, insomnia, and inability to func-tion at his previous level in school, so his parents consulted their physician. They report that he seems obsessed with his friend's death, talking about the accident repeatedly. What is the best problem formulation? He is:
  1. Attempting to avoid dealing with his pain
  2. Feeling responsible for his friend's death
  3. Experiencing a normal grief reaction
  4. At risk for self-harm in an attempt to be with his friend

Question 2

An outcome that can be identified for a client experiencing anticipatory grieving for a spouse di-agnosed with terminal cancer would be that the client will:
 
  1. Continue to be emotionally involved with the dying spouse
  2. Develop protective mental mechanisms to allay the pain of spousal loss
  3. Not voice threats of violence toward self or others in the family
  4. Agree to stay at home and care for the spouse for 3 months

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The teen is not avoiding his pain. He is talking a lot about it, so option 1 is incorrect. There are no data to support that he feels responsible, so option 2 is incorrect. He has not expressed suicidal ideation, so option 4 is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Some families who are experiencing anticipatory grieving withdraw prematurely from the ill member, so option 1 is an important outcome. There are no protective mechanisms to prevent loss experiences, so option 2 is incorrect. Anticipatory grieving does not imply violence, so option 3 is incorrect. A contract to stay home and care for the spouse is not helpful, so option 4 is incorrect.

Did you know?

A headache when you wake up in the morning is indicative of sinusitis. Other symptoms of sinusitis can include fever, weakness, tiredness, a cough that may be more severe at night, and a runny nose or nasal congestion.

Did you know?

The tallest man ever known was Robert Wadlow, an American, who reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches. He died at age 26 years from an infection caused by the immense weight of his body (491 pounds) and the stress on his leg bones and muscles.

Did you know?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.

Did you know?

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
