Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Women are at risk for PTSD as a result of experiences in the military, and it is more often secondary to sexual assault rather than combat trauma. The other distractors are incorrect assumptions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
One common nursing diagnosis in relation to complicated grief (and some authors would argue that all grief is complicated) is the risk for spiritual distress, which addresses the person's sense of meaning, purpose, and outlook for the future.
