Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Chronic grief involves unresolved issues in a relationship with the person who died. In this case, a more realistic expression of their life together is needed. The remaining options are appropriate but do not address the primary need to establish realistic memories of the rela-tionship.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Pre-mourning or anticipatory grief is associated with a high risk for depression or family withdrawal from the patient. It is normative and does not necessarily require a longer period of resolution or indicate fewer guilt expressions. It does not prevent depression.
