  1. More easily assessed than actual losses
  2. Much less personal than an actual loss
  3. Universally experienced by all amputees
  4. Capable of producing grief similar to an actual loss

Question 2

  1. Interviewing both the client and the family to identify preferred end-of-life care
  2. Talking openly and without biases about the client's end-of-life care preferences
  3. Providing the family with the opportunity to realize the client's end-of-life wishes
  4. Becoming familiar with the death rituals most common among the nurse's client population

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Perceived losses are easy to overlook because they are so internally and individually experienced, although they are grieved in the same way as an actual loss. The express of grief over a loss, per-ceived or real, is a very individualized, personal response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Care provided at the end-of-life within the client and family's cultural context draws on the re-sources of their entire lives. Honoring client and family cultural values characterizes expert end-of-life care. Actually facilitating the opportunity to have the client's wishes fulfilled is the best reflection of expert end-of-life care. The other options are all facets of being successful at facilitating this care.
