A grieving patient asks a nurse what he would get from participating in a grief support group. What benefits can the nurse include when responding? Select all that apply
1. Social support
2. Connection to resources
3. Validation of experience
4. Direction on how to grieve
5. The opportunity to share his story
Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Support groups can give bereaved individuals the opportunity to connect with others and realize that they are not alone. They can provide information about the grieving process and other resources in the community. Support groups can help validate the emotions the bereaved is experiencing and provide members the chance to share their own stories in a supportive setting. There is no right way to grieve, and there are no directions on grieving.
