B)bargaining
C)depression
D)denial and isolation

Accepted Answer

In the acceptance stage, a person has come to terms with their impending death and is at peace with it. They may still experience sadness or other emotions, but they ultimately accept the reality of their situation. Bargaining involves trying to negotiate with a higher power or making deals to try to avoid death. Depression is characterized by feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Denial and isolation involve refusing to accept the reality of impending death and may involve withdrawing from loved ones and denial of illness.

A)Depression

C)Acceptance
D)Denial and isolation

Accepted Answer

Acceptance usually signals that the person has come to terms with their impending death and is no longer struggling against it. They may no longer feel the need to talk about death and may simply desire the silent companionship of others.

Acceptance is a common final reaction to impending death in which the individual comes to terms with the inevitability of their situation and feels at peace with it. Bargaining involves trying to make deals or negotiate in order to avoid death. Depression can be a common response, but it is not necessarily a final stage. Denial and isolation are initial reactions rather than final ones, as the individual may initially refuse to accept the reality of their situation and withdraw from others.

The fourth stage of impending death is typically characterized by feelings of sadness, despair, and withdrawal as the person begins to recognize the true finality of death.

Therefore, all of these factors should be present for optimum positive interactions.

Question 6

A)become antisocial.
B)become aggressive.
C)become insecure.

Accepted Answer

When children do not receive adequate discipline, they may lack boundaries and structure in their lives, which can lead to antisocial behavior such as disobedience and disregard for rules. Additionally, without guidance, children may become aggressive or even physically violent in their attempts to get their way or assert their dominance. Finally, without a structured environment, children may feel insecure and lack the confidence needed to succeed in life. Therefore, inadequate discipline can have detrimental effects on a child's development, leading to all of the behaviors listed.

The aim is to provide comfort and support to the person during their final days, relieve their pain, and alleviate any distress. Hospice services also provide emotional support, guidance, and companionship to the dying person and their families. Hospice services do not aim to keep the person quiet or protected, nor do they provide the latest technology in life-sustaining measures.

Question 10

The emotional reactions to death described by Kübler-Ross are
A)fixed and invariant.
B)comparable to other developmental stage theories.
C)a progression in which each successive stage is more advanced.
D)common but not universal.

Accepted Answer

Kübler-Ross's model of the stages of grief is a widely recognized conceptualization of the emotional reactions to death, but it has been criticized for being culturally specific and not applicable to all individuals. While the stages may be common, they are not universal, and different people may experience alternative or divergent emotional reactions to the death of a loved one. Therefore, choice D is the most accurate option.

Question 11

B)the intense emotional state that follows the death of a lover, friend, or relative.
C)an assisted living facility that caters to the physically and mentally disabled.

The focus of hospice care is on pain management and ensuring that the patient's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met. Hospice care may be provided in a specialized hospice facility, in the patient's home, or in a hospital.

A)avoid disturbing that person by mentioning death.
B)allow that person to talk about death with you.
C)tell that person about the stages of dying.
D)fill in periods of silence with idle talk during visits.

Accepted Answer

Allowing a dying person to talk about death can provide important emotional and spiritual support, provide an opportunity for them to express their fears and concerns, and may help them find peace and closure before passing on. Avoiding the topic of death or filling in periods of silence with idle talk may make the person feel isolated or misunderstood, while explaining the stages of dying may not be relevant or helpful for every individual.

Question 13

_____ parents help their children grow up with a capacity for love, joy, fulfillment, responsibility, and self-control through positive parent-child interactions.
A)Authoritative
B)Authoritarian
C)Permissive
D)Indulgent

Accepted Answer

Authoritative parents are known to be warm, loving, and supportive while also setting clear boundaries and expectations for their children. They use positive communication and praise to reinforce good behavior and promote the development of positive social skills. This style of parenting helps children develop strong emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and a sense of responsibility, leading to positive outcomes in their adult lives. On the other hand, authoritarian, permissive, and indulgent parenting styles lack the balance of warmth and structure that authoritative parenting provides, leading to negative outcomes in children's adult lives like low self-esteem and poor social skills.

Question 14

The term discipline refers to
A)spanking and other forms of punishment.
B)guidance regarding acceptable behavior.
C)obedience to authority.
D)exercising parental rights.

Accepted Answer

Discipline refers to providing guidance, teaching, and encouragement for acceptable behavior, rather than just punishment. It includes positive reinforcement, setting clear boundaries and consequences, and nurturing a positive relationship with the child. It is important for promoting self-control, responsibility, and respect. Spanking and other forms of punishment can be a part of discipline, but they are not the only or most effective tools. Obedience to authority and exercising parental rights are related concepts but not the primary focus of discipline.

Question 15

_____ allows children to move freely within consistent, well-defined boundaries of acceptable behavior.
A)Authoritarian parenting
B)Permissive parenting
C)Effective discipline
D)Power assertive discipline

Accepted Answer

Effective discipline allows children to have boundaries and rules, but still allows for freedom within those boundaries. This type of discipline helps children learn appropriate behavior without using punishment or control. Authoritarian parenting and power assertive discipline can be harsh and restrictive, while permissive parenting lacks clear boundaries and rules.

Hospice care is provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and counselors, who work together to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and their loved ones. Hospice can be provided in a variety of settings, including the patient's home, a hospice facility, or a hospital.

C)Be yourself and relate person to person.
D)All of these suggestions are good advice.

Accepted Answer

All of the suggested choices are good advice when visiting with a person who is dying.

Accepted Answer

All three statements are true. Research has shown that most people do move through the stages of shock, denial, anger, bargaining, and acceptance when faced with their impending death. Additionally, one's approach to dying tends to reflect their approach to life, and many of the reactions described by Kübler-Ross can also be seen in response to other major losses or changes.

Accepted Answer

Understanding the reactions to coping with death can help both the dying and survivors to recognize and cope with periods of depression, anger, denial, and bargaining. It can also help persons to realize that close friends or relatives may feel many of the same emotions before or after a person's death. Additionally, it can guide persons to know that the dying person needs to share feelings with others and to discuss death openly. Therefore, all of these ways apply, making option D the correct answer.

Question 20

A)is fixed and invariant.
B)should follow Kübler-Ross's order if the person shows successful coping.
C)will mirror his or her style of living.
D)depends on one's age and gender with young people never reaching acceptance.

Accepted Answer

One's approach to dying is often influenced by their personality, beliefs, and values, which are shaped by their style of living.

The other choices are incorrect as dying attitudes can change, are not always linear, and are not solely determined by age or gender.
