Answer to Question 1

C
Prior to beginning CPR on an adult, the client must first be assessed for responsiveness to determine if CPR is needed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The most common psychological reaction is shock and disbelief or the refusal to accept that a loved one is about to die or has died. Some grieving people report physical symptoms such as difficulty breathing or tightness in the throat, whereas some people show signs of pathologic grief through morbid behaviors.
