Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Reestablishment is the gradual decrease in symptoms. There are not enough data to support op-tions 1, 2, or 4.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The statement indicates inhibited grief that is characterized by minimal emotional expression of grief. There are not enough data to support option 1, conflicted grief, which involves ambiva-lence in the relationship with the departed. Distorted grief (option 3) is not one of the standard types, and there is no expected male response to loss (option 4).
