Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: While all families are different and all families can respond to grief differently, research supports a greater potential for complicated grief in families whose loved one died suddenly, violently, or unexpectedly. Of the options given, the client who was murdered best fits all three situations. The clients who died of cancer, renal failure, and heart disease had been ill for some time, so they do not meet the criteria as well as the murdered client.
