Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback: Finding a support group indicates that the client recognizes her need for help and is taking action to get the support she needs. Answers A, B, and D are not indications that the client's coping skills are adequate for the situation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Several authors identify loss of self-esteem as the differentiating factor between normal and maladaptive grieving. The length of time needed to grieve is variable, so it is difficult to establish a time frame as indicative of maladaptive grief.
