Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Loss occurs when a valued person, object, or situation is changed or made inaccessible so that its value is diminished or removed. Actual loss can be recognized by others as well as by the person sustaining the loss.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Anticipatory loss occurs when a person displays loss and grief behaviors for a loss that has yet to take place. It is often seen in the families of clients with serious or life-threatening illnesses, and serves to lessen the effect of the actual loss of a family member.
