A 16-year-old is grieving the loss of her pet dog killed by a car when he ran into the street. She states to her mother, I miss my dog so much, but I know that if I start crying, I will never stop. The fear expressed by the teen is:
 
  1. Loss of control over her emotions
  2. Embarrassment to cry in front of her friends
  3. Of behaving immaturely
  4. Related to lack of available support

Question 2

A client asks the nurse what is meant by grief work. The nurse should explain that grief work refers to:
 
  1. Actively seeking assistance to cope with the loss experiences
  2. Establishing new methods of coping with stress
  3. The means by which one moves through the grief process
  4. Evaluating progress made toward accepting the loss
