Answer to Question 1

C
These symptoms are typically experienced with grief that is felt in anticipation of a loss. Bereavement-related depression refers to depression following a loss that consumes every aspect of a person's life; complicated grief is displayed as persistent yearning for the deceased person without signs of depression; and caregiver grief refers to grief experienced by health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Abstract thinking is the ability to think in a nonliteral way and is essential for tasks such as understanding symbolism and abstract concepts such as love or time. Concrete thinking is the absence of abstract thinking, or literal thinking, and is seen here in the patient's interpreting the expression literally and actually bending over to help himself. Impaired reality testing is an inability to figure out whether a perception or thought is based in reality. Boundary impairment is difficulty telling where one's self begins or ends or how one is distinct from others or one's surroundings.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
