Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: Alcohol use disorder is underdiagnosed in the aging. During the grieving period, the bereaved is at risk for impaired health and susceptible to increased accidents. An increased involvement with children can be an effective method of obtaining support and is not a risk factor. Involvement in a new relationship can be an affirmation of continued life and hope.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 4, 5
Explanation: The individual's emotional expressiveness, prior mental health, coping resources, cultural conditioning, and quality of supportive relationships are important in determining an individual's behavior and resiliency. Although financial resources and job skills may help the patient resolve his current losses, they are not factors that reflect resiliency.
