Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Reestablishment is the gradual decrease in symptoms. There are not enough data to support the remaining options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The statement indicates inhibited grief that is characterized by minimal emotional expression of grief. There is not enough data to support conflicted grief, which involves ambivalence in the relationship with the departed. Distorted grief is not one of the standard types, and nor-mal grief is not characterized by this behavior.
