Answer to Question 1

C
During the phase of disorganization and despair an individual spends much time thinking about how and why the loss occurred. The person often expresses anger at anyone he or she believes to be responsible. In the numbing phase, a person has periods of extremely intense emotion and re-ports feeling stunned or unreal. The yearning and searching phase evokes emotional outbursts, tearful sobbing, and acute distress. To move forward, people need to experience this painful phase of grief. During the final phase of reorganization, which usually requires a year or more, the person accepts unaccustomed roles, acquires new skills, and builds new relationships.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients who are at risk for contracting STIs need to learn to perform a genital self-examination. The purpose of the examination is to detect any signs or symptoms of STIs. Many persons do not know they have an STI (e.g., chlamydial infection), and some STIs (e.g., syphilis) can remain undetected for years. Therefore it is essential to stress the importance of regular screening for STIs in sexually active individuals.
