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.
