Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Recent personal experiences of death can increase the nurse's emotional response to the death of a patient. Job changes are not a powerful contributing factor to the intensity of suffering. Individual counseling can help the nurse consider her feelings. Attending memorial services and reflecting on memories may be helpful.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Nurses sometimes express suffering in the form of complaining or other types of hostility. They may also have difficulty managing tasks and participating in teamwork. Talking with co-workers is an appropriate form of managing grief.
