Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 2,4
Bargaining is one stage within Kbler-Ross's stages of grieving in which the person makes a bargain with God and expresses the willingness to do anything to postpone the reality of the loss or change the prognosis. The patient is not delusional or in denial and is not using religious beliefs to block the loss. Bargaining with God is not a demonstration of anger.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 1
In one theory of the process of loss, the person gradually withdraws attachment to the lost object or person. The period of mourning, or work of mourning, ends and the person reaches a state of completion. This is the time when the patient may be ready to move on and make a change such as using a prosthesis or return to activities they were involved in before the loss. The patient's actions indicate a positive adaptation, not an inability to manage grief. Denial is manifested by behaviors or statements indicating the patient cannot believe the event has occurred. There is inadequate information provided to infer the patient has forgotten about the disease which caused the loss of the limb. Further, forgetting an event of this magnitude is extremely unlikely.
