Answer to Question 1

A
Stigma arises out of specific characteristics of a disease or an unknown etiology, which causes fear. In the early days of the AIDS epidemic, not much was known about transmission, which generated fear in health care workers and the general population.

Answer to Question 2

A
The goal of nursing care for older persons who are grieving and mourning is not to make them feel better quickly, although nurses are often tempted to try to do so. Nurses should assist and support bereaved persons through the grieving process, recognizing that pain is a normal and healthy response to loss and allowing bereaved persons to accomplish the tasks of mourning in their own ways.
