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.
