Answer to Question 1
Ans: B
Feedback:
Kbler-Ross proposed five stages of grief: (a) denial, (b) anger, (c) bargaining, (d) depression, and (e) acceptance. Denial may range from complete denial of the illness and impending death to denial of the effect that dying will have on self and others. In the second stage, anger may be directed toward fate, God, family members, health care providers, or others. Bargaining occurs as the client seeks to delay the dreaded event; the client bargains with God for more time and, in return, promises to do something to repay God for this favor. Depression occurs when the client acknowledges the reality and inevitability of the impending death. In the final stage, acceptance, the client comes to terms with the loss, begins to detach from supportive people, and loses interest in worldly activities.

In an effort to limit exposure to the disturbing sight of equipment and medical supplies, the nurse should, if possible, remove unneeded items and clean, position, and cover the client. However, under some circumstances (such as an unexpected death), intravenous and other lines and tubes should not be removed, as the body may need to be examined by a medical examiner. Having time alone with the client is an important step for some families, whereas others appreciate the presence of a nurse, a spiritual leader, or friends. Religious and cultural beliefs and customs should be observed as much as possible.
