Answer to Question 1

technology-based
Technology-based approaches are increasing because of factors such as ease of accessibility for a wide range of people, a greater number of people seeking CAM approaches to mental health care, and increased use of the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nature of the surgery, which involves the loss of a major portion of his body and the potential for major changes in the mobility this individual has been accustomed to, creates a major loss for the patient. When there is a significant loss, the patient experiences a grief response, which is what is beginning to be addressed here. There are no data to support denial, depression, or spiritual distress.
