Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Frequent use of anxiolytic medications can mask grief. The other options are usual offers of assistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Shock and disbelief are often the first responses to a death, followed by protest and despair. The wife's statement does not indicate confusion or anger.
