The nurse planning care for a client with acute grief will:
1. Advise the client to limit contact with support persons
2. Provide information about the grief process
3. Suggest postponing use of community resources for 6 weeks
4. Encourage dependence on the nurse for support
ANS: 2
Limiting contact with support is not helpful, so option 1 is incorrect. Client education is helpful, so option 2 is correct. Postponing use of resources (option 3) and encouraging dependence on the nurse (option 4) are unhelpful and therefore incorrect.
