Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Anxiety should not be reduced as soon as possible because it serves a useful purpose.
B Correct. Anxiety serves a purpose in alerting one's family and friends that something is amiss and in generating needed energy to deal with the situation.
C Incorrect. This is an incorrect statement. The normal grieving process runs its course, and new dreams are generated in the process. Some parents may become immobilized in one stage and may need counseling to work through this and subsequent stages.
D Incorrect. The entire grieving process (denial, anxiety, fear depression, guilt, and anger) is related to the loss of their dream of a perfect child and possibly to how other people will be disappointed in them, not just the stage of anxiety.
