Answer to Question 1

D
Complicated grief is associated with traumatic death. Survivors may suffer emotions of greater intensity than those associated with normal grief. Anticipatory grief is the occurrence of grief work before an expected loss. This type of grief may lead to family members' distancing themselves and not being able to provide support. Disenfranchised grief contributes to dysfunctional grief. It is grief experienced in situations where grief is discouraged and social supports are absent. Uncomplicated grief is a grief reaction that normally follows a significant loss. It runs a predictable course that ends with the resumption of normal life.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nursing interventions for the abused elderly are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary intervention strategies emphasize prevention. Secondary nursing interventions consist of early identification and prompt treatment to minimize the long-term effects of the abuse. Tertiary interventions occur after the abuse and promote recovery and rehabilitation. There is no such thing as quad prevention.
