A home health patient previously lived with her sister for more than 20 years. Although it has been over a year since her sister died, the patient tells the nurse, It's no worse now, but I never feel any relief from this overwhelming sadness.
 
  I still can't sleep a full night. The house is a mess; I feel too tired, even to take a bath. But, sometimes at night, she comes to me and I can see her plain as can be. The patient's clothing is not clean and her hair is not combed. She is apparently not eating adequately. What can the nurse conclude? The patient is probably
  a. Grieving longer than usual because of the closeness of the relationship with her sister
  b. Experiencing a depressive disorder rather than simply grieving the loss of her sister
  c. Feeling guilt and worthlessness because her sister died and she is still alive
  d. Interpreting the holiday as a trigger event, which is causing her to hallucinate
