Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the purpose of these rituals is to facilitate the acceptance of the loss of the client's wife. Resolution of the loss is the fourth stage in Engel's grief process, in which the bereaved experiences a preoccupation with the loss, which gradually decreases over time.
