Answer to Question 1

D
The school nurse should anticipate that this teenager would exhibit aggression and acting-out behaviors. Adolescents have the ability to understand death on an adult level yet have difficulty tolerating the intense feelings associated with the death of a loved one. It is often easier for adolescents to express sorrow by acting out rather than typical emotional expressions of the grieving process.

Answer to Question 2

C
