Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Adjustment to life cycle transitions may initiate acute grief. This could be a situational crisis but not an adventitious crisis. There are no indications that this will become chronic and lacks the magnitude needed to result in traumatic grief.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The question is a common assessment question to determine the grief work that has been done. The query does not ask about support systems or specific factors, and the query is more than a display of concern.
