Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Grief is an intense, emotional reaction to the loss of a loved one. The reaction is a biopsychosocial response that often includes spontaneous expression of pain, sadness, and desolation. Bereavement is the process of mourning and coping with the loss of a loved one. It begins immediately after the loss, but it can last months or years. Individual differences and cultural practices influence grieving and bereavement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Unexplained physical symptoms such as headache, fatigue, pain, chest pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported among both traumatized and nontraumatized populations in the aftermath of disasters. Tachycardia, profuse perspiration, and tremors or shakiness are more typically assessed in the period immediately after the disaster.
