Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E, F, G
These are the typical stages that a person in crisis experiences. The stages usually occur in the order of perception, denial, crisis, disorganization, recovery, and reorganization.

Answer to Question 2

D
Grieving persons often dream about, visualize, think about, or search for the lost loved one. Inform the person that this experience is a normal phenomenon. Visualization does not suggest substance use or mental illness in this case.
