Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Medical devices and tubes are not removed from the body if an autopsy is to be performed. The patient's necklace and watch may be removed and given to the patient's family members before the body is transported to the coroner's office for autopsy. Dentures should be left in the patient's mouth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The patient is experiencing disenfranchised grief because she cannot share the pain of her loss with her husband. The husband is not willing to support his wife as she mourns the loss of her pregnancy or recognize the grief that she is going through.
