Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Inhibited expression of grief can lead to depression; therefore option 1 is correct. Option 2 can-not be assumed. The nurse should not be made to feel responsible for teaching her father (option 3). Unexpressed feelings do not necessarily lead to suicidality, so option 4 is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The only situation that presents as a long-term, chronic loss is option 2, having a child with schizophrenia. The other situations are resolving or at least hopeful for recovery.
