What almost universal response to loss should a mental health nurse understand has many cultural determinants?
1. Anger
2. Crying
3. Depression
4. Distancing
Answer: 2
Explanation: Although crying is an almost universal response to loss, cultural determinants affect its acceptability for different genders and ages, and the intensity of allowable expression. Depression is a mental health issue, not a universal response to loss. Anger or distancing may be responses to loss, but they are not universal.
