Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Grieving prior to the actual loss is termed anticipatory grieving. There are no assessment findings in the question that indicate complicated grieving or hopelessness. This reaction is typical of family members, so there is no indication that the family is exhibiting caregiver role strain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
As the client advocate, the nurse would allow this family to bond according to their customs. Asking the family to leave may cause extreme stress to the client and family. It would not be appropriate for the doctor to try to explain the surgery while the family is grieving. Taking the client to another room would deprive the client from participating in his family's customs.
