Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Anticipatory grief refers to the reactions that occur when an individual, family, significant other, or friends are expecting a loss or death to occur. Bereavement is the process of grief that includes feelings of sadness, insomnia, poor appetite, deprivation, and desolation. Mourning describes an individual's outward expression of grief regarding the loss of a loved object or person. Loss is a change in the status of a significant object or situation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Loss of function due to a medical condition usually causes a gradual loss over time. It would not be considered sudden, unexpected, or anticipatory at this point.
