Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: In the evaluation phase of the nursing process, reassessment is conducted to determine if the nursing actions have been successful in achieving the objectives of care. The implementation of client teaching has enabled the client to verbalize an understanding of the grief process and his or her position in the process. Therefore, the nurse's actions can be evaluated as successful.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: EMDR has been used for depression, adjustment disorder, phobias, addictions, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. However, at present, EMDR has only been empirically validated for trauma-related disorders such as PTSD and acute stress disorder.
