Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Several factors have been identified that may make the grief response more difficult: grieving when the bereaved person was strongly dependent on the lost entity, the relationship with the lost entity was highly ambivalent, the individual experienced a number of recent losses, the loss is that of a young person, the individual's physical or psychological health is unstable, and the bereaved person perceived responsibility for the loss. A widow who has experienced the process of loss for an extended period of time is more likely in the stage of acceptance and resolution of grief.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The majority of clients admitted to psychiatric hospitals are in a crisis stage, and the treatment goal is stabilization and reintroduction into the community. Crisis situations can occur because of treatment noncompliance and exacerbations of the chronic mental illness.
