Answer to Question 1

A
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. 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. Dysfunctional grief is when the person experiencing the grief does not progress through the stages or fails to demonstrate the behaviors commonly associated with grief. Disenfranchised grief contributes to dysfunctional grief. It is grief experienced in situations where grief is discouraged and social supports are absent, such as in the death of partners of gays and lesbians.

Answer to Question 2

C
In our youth-driven society, old age often has a negative connotation. In many cultures, older people are accorded a position of respect and young people feel a moral and familial responsibility to care for parents and older relatives. In American culture, misconceptions about older adults abound. Older adults are often stereotyped as being ill, bald, hard of hearing, forgetful, rigid, grumpy, or boring simply on the basis of their age and regardless of their competencies and individual characteristics.
