Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Law often requires that an autopsy be performed if death occurred during incarceration; as the result of foul play, homicide, or suicide; or as an accidental death, as occurs in car accidents. The nurse must understand the policies that are applied in cases of foul play death and must ensure that the decedent's body is properly cared for after death, despite the emotional feelings of individuals in close contact with the decedent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Jewish mourning ritual of Shiva incorporates the community's helping behaviors toward those experiencing death, sets expectations for behaviors of the survivor, and provides the community with sustaining traditions and rituals. An understanding of the religious and cultural significance of Shiva allows the nurse to know how to appropriately respond.
