Answer to Question 1

B
Anger is a stage in the grieving process. It is normal and healthy to be angry. By staying with Mrs. Petal, you are allowing her to vent her anger and remain safe. It would be inappropriate to medicate her (response A) or to restrain her (response C). Being angry shows that she understands her loss and its consequences.

Answer to Question 2

B
Renal stones (response B) do not contribute to incontinence. Delirium, restricted mobility, infection, and pharmaceutical or psychological concerns contribute to incontinence.
