Answer to Question 1

C
Fifty percent of clients with mental health disorders also suffer from physical disorders, and, frequently, they are not capable of managing either disorder.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse should identify that this client is in the third stage of Bowlby's grief process, called disorganization and despair. This stage is characterized by feelings of despair in response to the realization that the loss has occurred. The individual experiences helplessness, fear, and hopelessness. Perceptions of visualizing or being in the presence of the lost one may occur.
