Answer to Question 1

B
The osmoreceptors continually monitor serum osmotic pressure and when osmolality increases, the hypothalamus stimulates thirst. Eating salty foods increases the osmotic pressure of the body fluids and stimulates the thirst mechanism.

Answer to Question 2

D
An actual loss is any loss of a person or object that an individual can no longer feel, hear, know, or experience. Perceived loss is any loss that is uniquely defined by the grieving patient. Situational loss includes any sudden, unpredictable external event.
