1. d. All of the above. Grief caused by death or loss can manifest in various ways, including acceptance, denial, and bargaining. These expressions are common and can vary from person to person and situation to situation.

2. a. Ask one of the parents to help you hold the patient. When taking a radiograph of a minor patient, it is generally advisable to ask one of the parents or a guardian to assist in holding the child for positioning. This ensures the child's safety and comfort during the procedure.

3. To calm Nayeon and properly explain the procedure to be done, you can take the following steps:

• Approach Nayeon and her parents with empathy and understanding.
• Use simple and clear language to explain the procedure, avoiding medical jargon.
• Assure them that the procedure is common and will be performed by qualified professionals.
• Address any concerns or questions they may have, providing reassurance and support.
• Offer to show them the equipment or explain the steps of the procedure visually, if possible.
• Allow Nayeon and her parents to express their fears or concerns and listen actively.
• Maintain a calm and reassuring demeanor throughout the interaction.

By following these steps, you can help Nayeon and her parents feel more at ease and ensure they have a clear understanding of the procedure.

4. a. Denial. Mr. Wade Wilson's decision to seek treatment in another country that promises an instant cure indicates that he is in the stage of denial. This stage is characterized by an inability to accept or acknowledge the reality of the situation and may involve seeking alternative solutions or treatments.

5. c. "The total amount of the procedure is fifteen thousand pesos, please settle your account immediately." This statement is not an important aspect of patient education. While it is essential to provide information about the cost of the procedure and payment options, it should be handled separately from the educational information about the procedure itself. Patient education should focus on providing instructions, explanations, and expectations related to the procedure, rather than the financial aspect.
