Answer to Question 1

A
Grief is a series of responses that occur following a loss. It is a normal, natural, necessary, and adaptive response to a loss. It is a highly personal experience and is affected by age, gender, culture, and circumstances surrounding the loss.

Answer to Question 2

C
Abused older adults may either cling to or act in a very guarded manner toward the abuser. Another indicator of possible abuse is vague explanations offered for the cause of injuries.
