A. Chronic grief B. Masked grief C. Exaggerated grief D. Delayed grief

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Chronic grief Chronic grief is prolonged and intense, lasting for an extended period without resolution. The client's symptoms suggest a different grief response.
B. Masked grief Masked grief occurs when a person experiences physical symptoms or maladaptive behaviors that they may not initially recognize as being related to their loss. The client's headaches, indigestion, and heart palpitations are physical manifestations of their grief.
C. Exaggerated grief Exaggerated grief involves intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors, such as depression, substance abuse, or suicidal thoughts, rather than primarily physical symptoms.
D. Delayed grief Delayed grief occurs when a person suppresses their emotions and does not experience grief reactions until later, often triggered by another event. The client's current physical symptoms suggest an ongoing response rather than a delayed one.
