Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Unresolved grief results when a grieving person does not move past some stage of the grief process. The widow is still in denial. It would be expected for the widow to keep pictures of her husband in the home. Eating out frequently and attending church would not lead to a diagnosis of unresolved grief, but instead would be encouraged.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Toddlers need to develop autonomy and do things for themselves in a trial-and-error method. Finger foods allow the child a feeling of independence.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
