Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 4, 5
Grief is the emotional response to a loss, manifested in ways unique to an individual, based on personal experiences, cultural expectations, and spiritual beliefs. The remaining options have minimal effect on individual grieving

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
While constipation is a common side effect of opioid analgesics, the most therapeutic nursing re-sponse to the client's report is to offer an appropriate intervention. While the other options are appropriate, the use of a laxative is likely to produce the most effective, timely solution to the problem especially since a terminally ill client is not likely to be eating and drinking sufficiently.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
