Which term refers to the stage of coping with death in five stages?

• A. Cultural Diversity
• B. Dementia
• C. De-escalation
• D. Death and dying

Answer: (D)

Coping with death using the five-stage model is part of death and dying. This term covers topics around dying, end-of-life care, and the emotional processes people go through as they or their loved ones face terminal illness. The five stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—are a framework many caregivers use to understand and support patients and families through grief, making death and dying the best fit for this concept.

Cultural diversity relates to beliefs and practices of different groups, dementia is a neurological condition affecting memory and cognition, and de-escalation is about reducing tension and preventing conflict.
