Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disenfranchised grief occurs when open grieving is not acceptable for some reason. There are some complicating factors behind the loss. The best way to prevent this from occurring is clear communication with the client about who is important, who should be allowed to visit, whom can the nurse share information with. Family affairs and advanced directives are not related and are both yes/no questions which the nurse avoids. The client may or may not have a faith or faith leader, and this is another example of a yes/no question.
