Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Families can have limited knowledge when asked to make important ethical decisions. Nurses have the time, patience, and knowledge base to assist the family to understand their ethical situation and to help them make their own educated decision. Advance directives are completed by the person who is dying. Funeral guidance is best provided by a chaplain or a caretaker.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Worden Grief Tasks Model consists of four tasks. Task III is seen when the surviving family member begins to adjust to life without the deceased. Task I is accepting the reality of the loss, Task II is working through the pain of grief, and Task IV is emotionally relocating the deceased and moving on with life.
