Answer to Question 1

B
Dysfunctional or pathological grief is characterized by intense feelings of grief that remain unreconciled. Individuals experiencing dysfunctional grief have persistent, strong emotional reactions and may be unable to work, eat, or sleep; they remain isolated and are unable to resume any routines, continuing to focus on the deceased person. A person experiencing dysfunctional grief should be referred for professional counseling.

Answer to Question 2

D
The three stages of grief are shock (lasts days to months), reality (acknowledges the full meaning of the loss), and recovery (exhibits adaptive behaviors).
