Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

The psychosocial aspects of eating alone after the death of a spouse can lead to problems in maintaining adequate nutrition. Leaving the closet untouched, missing her husband, and crying 4 weeks after the loss are normal grieving responses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Many factors place an older adult at risk for depression, including recent bereavement, a change in environment, alcohol or substance use, and chronic pain.
