Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse should assess that the client is in the anger stage of grieving when the client refuses to attend church and states that his faith has failed him. Anger is the second stage of Kbler-Ross's grief process, in which the reality of the situation is realized and the individual has feelings of sadness, guilt, shame, helplessness, and hopelessness.

Answer to Question 2

A
