Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse can easily correct communication problems caused by cultural differences in a number of ways, including learning what cultural beliefs and practices are important to the client and being accepting of those beliefs. Communication problems due to age and gender differences and altered cognition cannot be corrected by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5
Rationale: The nurse should identify that individuals are at a high risk for complicated grieving when the bereaved person was strongly dependent on the lost entity, the relationship with the lost entity was highly ambivalent, the individual experienced a number of recent losses, the loss is that of a young person, the individual's physical or psychological health is unstable, and the bereaved person perceived responsibility for the loss. Having a year to process grief while her husband was in a vegetative state would reduce the widow's risk for the problem of complicated grieving.
