Answer to Question 1

A
Attachment, the foundation of Bowlby's (1980) four phases of mourning, is an instinctive behavior, which leads to the development of life-long bonds of affection between children and their primary caregivers. In the numbing phase, a person has periods of extremely intense emotion and reports feeling stunned or unreal. The numbing phase lasts from several hours to a week. The yearning and searching phase evokes emotional outbursts, tearful sobbing, and acute distress. To move forward, people need to experience this painful phase of grief.

Answer to Question 2

C
Gradual emptying of tube feeding by gravity reduces risk for abdominal discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea induced by bolus or too-rapid infusion of tube feedings. It is the patient's meal and should be delivered in the amount of the time a well-tolerated meal is eaten. Feedings should be at room temperature. Cold formula causes gastric cramping and discomfort. Always determine tube placement, not readjustment, before beginning tube feedings. Always administer feedings as prescribed to ensure that the patient is receiving the ordered nutrients. Increasing the concentration of the formula will cause the patient to receive an inappropriate amount.
