Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Lindemann's work suggested that early intervention could prevent later problems. He further proposed that grief might be normal or morbid, depending on the preexisting vulnerabilities of the person. 1. His suggestion was for brief counseling, but he did not specify individual or ge-neric therapy. 3. This was not one of his premises. 4. He did not draw this conclusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Smoking may increase the risk for deep vein thrombosis. There are no alerts about alcohol, sun-screens, or losing weight with this medication.
