Answer to Question 1

A
The side effects of many medications are uncomfortable, and clients often stop taking them as soon as the acute symptoms subside. One of the most powerful predictors of medication refusal is one's insight into the illness, and most chronically or severely mentally ill individuals have little insight. Nurses must carefully monitor clients routinely for compliance with medications.

Answer to Question 2

Anticipatory
Rationale: Anticipatory grieving is the experiencing of the feelings and emotions associated with the normal grief response before the loss actually occurs. Anticipatory grieving may serve as a defense for some individuals to ease the burden of loss when it actually occurs.
