Answer to Question 1

D
Impaired social interaction is a state in which an individual participates in an insufficient (or excessive) quantity or quality of social exchange. A defining characteristic is dysfunctional interaction with others. The patient's suspiciousness, rigidity, and distortions of reality related to projection are likely responsible in this case. Splitting, powerlessness, and activity intolerance are not evident in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

4
No specific medications are known at this time to treat dissociative disorders.
