Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Clinical features of dysfunctional grief include expressions of distress or denial of the loss, changes in eating and sleeping patterns, and mood disturbances such as anger, hostility, and crying. The other options would not necessarily occur in a client with dysfunctional grieving.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The PDSA was passed in 1990 and states that every competent individual has the right to make decisions about his or her health care (autonomy). Justice encompasses fair and equal treatment for all. Beneficence is doing good. Veracity is a term for to be truthful.
