What is pathological denial?
-
When someone maintains a belief others do not hold
-
When someone believes that things will get better

Correct Answer
A. When someone maintains a belief others do not holdExplanation
Pathological denial refers to a situation where an individual continues to hold onto a belief that is not shared by others. This means that despite evidence or opinions to the contrary, the person refuses to accept or acknowledge the truth. This type of denial can be seen as an unhealthy defense mechanism, as it can prevent individuals from facing reality and addressing the underlying issues.Rate this question:

What concept does the child understand long before that of death?
-
Blame
-
Sorrow
-
Grief
Correct Answer
A. BlameExplanation
The concept of blame is understood by a child long before the concept of death. Blame refers to holding someone responsible for a mistake or wrongdoing, which can be observed and understood in various social interactions from a young age. On the other hand, the concept of death involves understanding the permanent cessation of life, which may be more complex and abstract for a child to grasp. Therefore, it is likely that a child will have a better understanding of blame before comprehending the concept of death.Rate this question:

What kind of death requires much more effort for the client to come to terms with? (Select 2)
-
Death following illness
-
Sudden death
-
Violent death
Correct Answer(s)
A. Sudden death
A. Violent deathExplanation
Sudden death and violent death require much more effort for the client to come to terms with because they are unexpected and often traumatic. When a loved one dies suddenly or violently, there is little time for preparation or closure, which can make the grieving process more difficult. The shock and emotional impact of these types of deaths can also lead to feelings of guilt, confusion, and unresolved emotions, making it harder for the client to come to terms with the loss.Rate this question:
