Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that this intervention could hinder the woman from continuing a relationship with her infant. The first task in Worden's grief process is to accept the reality of the loss. It is common for individuals to refuse to believe that the loss has occurred. Behaviors may include misidentifying an individual in the environment as their loved one, retaining possessions of the lost loved one, and removing all reminders of the loved one in order to avoid reality.
