Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Complicated or dysfunctional grief occurs when an individual has a complicated grieving process that interferes with common routines of life for excessively long periods of time. Normal grief is the most common reaction to death; it involves a complex range of normal coping strategies. Disenfranchised grief involves a relationship that is not socially sanctioned. Perceived grief is not a type of grief; perceived loss is a loss that is not obvious to other people.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Loss of a body part from injury is a situational loss. Maturational losses occur as part of normal life transitions. Perceived loss is not obvious to other people. Uncomplicated is not a type of loss; it is a description of normal grief.
