Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has cancer and is terminally ill. The nurse should recognize that the client and their family might be experiencing which of the following types of grief?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Anticipatory grief. This type of grief occurs before an actual loss, as in the case of a terminally ill client. The client and their family may begin to grieve the impending loss, leading to emotional distress. Anticipatory grief allows for preparation and processing of emotions before the actual death occurs.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because complicated grief typically occurs when the grieving process is prolonged or intense, disenfranchised grief is when the loss is not openly acknowledged or socially supported, and traumatic grief results from a sudden and unexpected loss, none of which directly apply to the scenario of a terminally ill client.
