Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Three out of four women will be widowed at some point because women tend to live longer than men and frequently marry older men. There is no evidence that men grieve less than women; men and women grieve in different manners. It has not been found to be true that women carry at-tachments to their spouses that are less deep than men's attachments. Male response to grief has not been studied as thoroughly as that of women; the abundance of literature on this topic deals with women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In suspected awareness, the patient suspects that she is dying; however, it is never openly dis-cussed. With closed awareness, the patient does not know that she is dying; it is kept secret. With mutual pretense, there is a let's pretend atmosphere, where real feelings are kept hidden. Open awareness acknowledges the reality of the approaching death.
